Prince Harry is among high-profile figures accusing Mirror Group Newspapers of unlawful practices.
Mr Whittamore said he was in no doubt his newspaper customers were aware the information was obtained through 'blagging'.
Cross-examining him, Andrew Green KC, for the publisher, suggested that some of these records suggested he had also provided legitimate research for journalists."No," Mr Whittamore responded. He told the court this meant getting a name and address for a mobile number, information which usually can't be obtained legitimately by journalists.
He said the company had been involved in "systematic crime" and a "cover-up which has gone on for over a decade". He was being questioned by Mr Green about his role in obtaining evidence of unlawful information gathering and passing it to the claimants.
