Grant suing paper for relationship claims

Published Wednesday, Jun 7 2006, 02:51 BST | By Dave West
Hugh Grant and Jemima Khan have launched legal proceedings against a national newspaper over claims it made about their relationship.

The libel action is against an article in the May 3 Daily Mail titled "I never knew he was such a good actor".

London solicitors Schillings, who are making the claim for the couple, said the article is "false and defamatory".

The newspaper yesterday (June 5) printed a different and prominent article about the pair saying they have been "secretly" engaged for six months.

Schillings have warned other media, saying of the claim that "[since it] constitutes the entire, specious, basis for the remainder of the article it follows that the numerous allegations including supposed quotes from sources are false and indeed fabricated".
