The actor alleges that the paper commissioned private investigators to break into his home.
Hugh Grant's statement claims that for years, News UK, as it is now called, lied about its involvement in phone hacking and illegal information gathering.
The question of when victims of press intrusion learnt that they might have a case is crucial to this stage of the legal process because usually civil claims have to be brought within six years.Mr Grant said in his statement that he only became fully aware of the intrusions into his personal life last year when a private investigator, Gavin Burrows, told him The Sun had hired private investigators to target him.
In the statement, he said: "I had no evidence that this burglary was carried out or commissioned on the instruction of the press, let alone The Sun". However the recent disclosures convinced him The Sun had been behind the targeting of his private life.

Wednesday’s northeast winds will have a stabilizing effect across the coast and to some degree, inland, preventing the showers from forming in the afternoon. This…
