Hugh Grant Settles Illegal Snooping Lawsuit Against The Sun for 'Enormous Sum'
TL;DR Summary
Actor Hugh Grant settled a lawsuit against The Sun tabloid, alleging unlawful phone tapping, car bugging, and home intrusion, receiving "an enormous sum of money" to avoid potentially hefty legal fees. Grant, who previously settled a case against News of the World for phone hacking, stated that he settled reluctantly and would direct the money to groups advocating for a free and accountable press. The settlement comes after Justice Timothy Fancourt rejected NGN's attempt to dismiss the lawsuit, and leaves Prince Harry and 41 others scheduled to go to trial in January.
