Mark Lewis, the lawyer representing dozens of News of the World phone-hacking victims, said testimony by former News Corp. (NWSA) executives to the U.K. Parliament today may determine if James Murdoch lied about the scandal.

Statements by Tom Crone, an ex-legal manager at News Corp.’s U.K. newspaper unit, will be particularly important since he contradicted the July testimony by Murdoch, News Corp.’s deputy chief operating officer, before the same committee, Lewis said in a Bloomberg Television interview.

“The hearing could be damaging for James -- it could effectively finish his career,” said Lewis, who negotiated the first hacking settlement from News International in 2008 and now represents more than 70 suspected victims.
