  Mirror Group Plc and Midland Independent Newspapers Plc
Mirror Group's ranking among publishers of regional and local newspapers depends substantially on the classification of its major Scottish titles which share some of the charac-teristics of national newspapers.
Mirror Group's share of newspaper circulation and distribution in the region would rise from around 12 per cent to 29 per cent; and in MIN's core area around Birmingham and Coventry, the combined group would have a 48 per cent share of the daily newspaper market.
As to diversity of opinion, we have no reason to doubt Mirror Group's commitment to the continued publication of regional and local newspapers in the Midlands region; and we believe it would not be in Mirror Group's commercial interests to impose the opinions of its national newspapers on those published by MIN.

But the court heard the Mirror's argument that there was a public interest in exposing the tensions between Thatcher and the prime minister, John Major, during, rather than after, an otherwise stage-managed conference and rejected the application.
I became familiar with the case because I was asked by the Mirror Group to prepare an "expert opinion" on the issues.
The case of principle against the Mirror, that it violated copyright, was always difficult to counter, but the terms on which the case was settled suggest that the Sunday Times was not confident about the scale of its damages claim.

 JOHN ALLWOOD - MIRROR GROUP PLC: TWST
The national newspapers consist of: 'The Mirror', which is a tabloid newspaper selling over 2.3 million copies per day; and two Sunday newspapers, 'The Sunday Mirror', which sells around 2 million copies on a Sunday, and 'The Sunday People', which sells around 1.6 million copies on a Sunday.
Obviously, Mirror was affected because it was part of the Robert Maxwell Group, and he left the company with a number of liabilities, all of which have now been eliminated.
And as I said, in the last three years the group has been in a much stronger financial position to be able to move forward and make acquisitions.
