Phone Hacking Allegations Brought Against Mirror Group Newspapers
Ex-England football manager Sven-Goran Eriksson is among four people who have begun legal action against Mirror Group Newspapers over alleged phone hacking.
The claims against the publisher of the Daily and Sunday Mirror and the People were filed at the High Court on Monday.
It is understood that Mr Eriksson's claim relates to a time when Piers Morgan edited the Daily Mirror. Morgan however denies phone hacking.
Trinity Mirror, which owns Mirror Group, have so far declined to comment.
Shares in Trinity Mirror have fallen by 12.5%.
The three other claimants are Coronation Street actress Shobna Gulati, who plays Sunita Alahan; Garry Flitcroft, the former captain of Blackburn Rovers football team: and Abbie Gibson, a former nanny for the Beckham family.
A spokesman for the Mirror Group said it was "unaware" action had been taken at the High Court.
Until now, the UK phone-hacking scandal has centred on Rupert Murdoch's News International and its now closed News of the World newspaper.
This is the first legal action in the scandal against another newspaper group.
