News International says a claim taken against the Sun by Jude Law for alleged phone hacking will be "defended vigorously". The actor is already taking action against the News of the World. The company said of the Sun claim: "We believe this is a deeply cynical and deliberately mischievous attempt to draw the Sun into the phone-hacking issue. The allegations have been carefully investigated by our lawyers and the evidence shows they have no foundation whatsoever."

"In particular, the claimant's solicitors have relied on a reference in documentation that they should be well aware has nothing to do with a case against the Sun.

"Also, another article complained of merely reiterated information which was already in the public domain.The claim will be defended vigorously."

Law's lawyer said: "Accusations of cynicism and mischief-making by News International are ridiculous. Their record speaks for itself."
