A former senior Metropolitan Police officer has issued judicial review proceedings against the force over newspaper phone-hacking claims.
Ex-deputy assistant commissioner Brian Paddick says it failed to warn him his privacy may have been compromised.
Mr Paddick, MP Chris Bryant, and writer Brendan Montague want the courts to rule on how the case was handled.
The News of the World’s ex-royal editor Clive Goodman was jailed in 2007 for accessing public figures’ voicemails.
Tamsin Allen, a lawyer representing the three claimants, said: “Our clients have still not been told the whole story about how their names came to be in the papers seized during the phone hacking investigation in 2006 and why they were not warned that their privacy might have been compromised.
