Revision as of 19:20, 26 February 2014
Mark Lewis is an English media lawyer. He is married to TV and radio broacaster, Caroline Feraday, and is the son-in-law of discredited 'expert' forensic witness Alan Feraday.
According to the London Evening Standard of 22 November 2011:
- In the phone-hacking inquiry, Mark Lewis took the Dowlers on a no-win, no-fee basis and his phone hasn't stopped ringing since with requests from victims of phone-hacking to represent him, media appearances, committee appearances. In the final twist, the police, whom he's still suing, have also just announced there are at least 5,795 potential hacking victims, pretty close to the figure of 6,000 he was told in 2008.
- Tomorrow he will give evidence at the Leveson Inquiry himself, and you can be sure the underdog will be barking very loudly:
- "You've got News Corp, you've got News International, you've got News Group Newspapers, News of the World, you've got Farrer & Co, you've got Linklaters, you've got Olswang's, you've got Clifford Chance, you've got so many of the big law firms on this and then on the other side you've got me," Lewis says. "I haven't even got a f**king secretary, I've got one hand and, you know, if I had two hands I'd tie one behind my back because they need a head start."[1]
