the former is not a criminal offence.

He wasn't asked, have you ever authorised the hacking of a phone, or other specific questions.

Weasel words don't impress many people

It was a journalists question, the lawyers ones would be more challenging, if it got that far, because of the recent finding that the top brass knew that some hacking had taken place. The Paper didnt seem to put up much of a defence suggesting they didnt want to be in court. It seems to be more about the claimants wanting a finding.

If they had turned up they might have had to give evidence under oath, at risk of perjury.

Very frightening prospect for professional crooks and liars.

Moron complained he didn’t have his say, presumably the paper didn’t think he would add anything

answer questions that incriminate yourself.

That would be stupid. Trump and Rudy opted out too.

"Did you murder that person?"

"I refuse to answer on the grounds that I might incriminate myself"

But sometimes better not to be asked than have to say " no comment"

The behaviour of the tabloids over the last 20 or 30 years have been one long act of self incrimination.

It would be a strange question to ask a witness and not one that a judge would allow, even if the defence lawyer was asleep and forget to "raise a point of law". Of course if they were the accused, there is no problem with asserting that they did.
