Is Murdoch free to destroy tabloid’s records?

 

Jul 7, 2011 16:10 EDT

 

By Alison Frankel

The views expressed are her own.

 

Here’s some News of the World news to spin the heads of American lawyers. According to British media law star Mark Stephens of Finers Stephens Innocent (whom The Times of London has dubbed “Mr Media”), Rupert Murdoch’s soon-to-be shuttered tabloid may not be obliged to retain documents that could be relevant to civil and criminal claims against the newspaper—even in cases that are already underway. That could mean that dozens of sports, media, and political celebrities who claim News of the World hacked into their telephone accounts won’t be able to find out exactly what the tabloid knew and how it got the information.

 

If News of the World is to be liquidated, Stephens told Reuters, it “is a stroke of genius—perhaps evil genius.”

 

Under British law, Stephens explained, all of the assets of the shuttered newspaper, including its records, will be transferred to a professional liquidator (such as a global accounting firm). The liquidator’s obligation is to maximize the estate’s assets and minimize its liabilities. So the liquidator could be well within its discretion to decide News of the World would be best served by defaulting on pending claims rather than defending them. That way, the paper could simply destroy its documents to avoid the cost of warehousing them—and to preclude any other time bombs contained in News of the World’s records from exploding.

 

“Why would the liquidator want to keep [the records]?” Stephens said. “Minimizing liability is the liquidator’s job.”

 

That’s a very different scenario, Stephens said, from what would happen if a newspaper in the U.S. went into bankruptcy. In the U.S., a plaintiff (or, for that matter, a criminal investigator) could obtain a court order barring that kind of document destruction. In the U.K., there’s no requirement that the estate retain its records, nor any law granting plaintiffs a right to stop the liquidator from getting rid of them.

 

 

Have just been told that is apparently not true. Business closing doesn't equate to liquidation. So Murdoch cannot legally shred documents. I'm sure that'll stop him...

 

Best quote about this all came from Paddy O'flynn of the Express, "James Murdoch - the only surgeon who cuts out all the healthy flesh to save the cancer."

Rebekah Brooks must know some serious shit

08-07-11

REBEKAH Brooks is clearly keeping the Murdochs out of jail, it has emerged.

 

As James Murdoch closed the most successful newspaper in the western world rather than sack a devious harpie, experts said that harpie must have some weapons-grade shit up her sleeve.

 

Professor Henry Brubaker, of the Institute for Studies, said: "Jesus fucking Christ, they must have killed a tramp."

 

The News of the World will be axed on Sunday, followed a day later by Brooks returning to work at a desk that is obviously filled with grisly secrets.

 

And today Brooks' former protegé Andy Coulson will be arrested and charged with not wearing a disguise and following James and Rupert Murdoch when they went on one of their late night, East End killing sprees.

 

Martin Bishop, media analyst at Madeley-Finnegan, said: "No-one was calling for the paper to be closed, apart from the usual Twitter monkeys. If they had sacked Brooks and waved a batch of former executives off to prison, then slowly but surely things would have returned to normal, what with the British public being, you know, idiots.

 

"I reckon there's a refrigerated dungeon full of Brazilian kids and Rupert eats a fresh one every day."

 

Meanwhile accountants raised the possibility that the whole thing is just an elaborate tax dodge.

 

Despite the Murdochs' effort to draw a line under calling their Sunday tabloid journalism the News of the World, tax experts caught the faint whiff of financial genius.

 

Helen Archer, from Porter, Pinkney and Turner, said: "I would not be surprised if Rupert Murdoch invented phone hacking after discovering a loophole which allows you to save hundreds of millions of pounds if you shut down a newspaper based on outrage.

 

"And even though they pay fuck all tax anyway, a good accountant can always get you a refund."

 

But Professor Brubaker added: "Nah, I reckon it's got something to do with a grainy photo of some oiled teenage boys, forming a human pyramid."

Sorry, more mash

 

More people are going to read the Mail on Sunday

08-07-11

 

THE readership of the Mail on Sunday will increase, it is as simple as that, experts warned last night.

 

The closure of the News of the World will mean the planet's most disturbed thing will now be bought by thousands of tabloid readers who are not intimidated by the dreaded 'third syllable'.

 

Media analyst, Julian Cook, said: "The ones who just like the pictures will now point and howl at the Daily Star Sunday - oh yes, there is such a thing.

 

"And those who bought the News of the World as some kind of edgy, ironic statement will just go back to reading whatever dicks normally read.

 

"But the hard, cold, sickening fact that will become this country's epitaph is that hundreds of thousands of people will now drift within the gravitational pull of Peter Hitchens.

 

"So those FUCKING ARSEHOLES at the Guardian might want to think about that shit for a minute before they pop the champagne that they can't really afford because they haven't made a profit since 1642."

 

He added: "The News of the World did some nauseating, ghastly things, but it's not Hitchens. It's not even close.

 

"By default, we have increased the audience for pure, cruel, mindless hate. Well done!

 

"Then again, at least Peter Hitchens only hacks into to his own voicemail to find out what his multiple personalities have been telling him to do.

 

"Sometimes he is Bad Peter, sometimes he is Crazee Peter and sometimes he is Peter Christ, the Angry Jesus. From a spectator's point of view, it's best when he's being all three.

 

"But for British culture, I'm afraid it is a case of 'out of the frying pan, into the mental hospital'."
