Britain’s Culture, Media and Sport Select Committee of Parliament released evidence Tuesday that appears to vindicate U.K. firm Harbottle & Lewis and its handling of an internal investigation of News International in 2007, Legal Week reported.

In correspondence and records submitted to the parliamentary committee, the firm stressed that its 2007 retainer by the News Corp. subsidiary was limited to reviewing a cache of emails related to the company’s employment dispute with former News of the World (NoW) royal editor Clive Goodman.
