LONDON —The publisher of Britain's Daily Mail newspaper is applying to dismiss lawsuits brought by Prince Harry, singer Elton John and other individuals alleging phone-tapping and other breaches of privacy.

Associated Newspapers, publisher of the Daily Mail, The Mail on Sunday and MailOnline, has applied to London's High Court for the lawsuits – which were launched in October – to be thrown out without a trial, according to court documents.

Their lawyers said in a statement in October that the individuals had become aware of"highly distressing" evidence revealing they had been victims of breaches of privacy by Associated Newspapers, including phone-tapping and bugging people's cars and homes. Its application to end the litigation on the basis that the claims were brought out of time is due to be heard in late March or early April. A spokesperson for the publisher did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
