LONDON - British actor Hugh Grant has settled a lawsuit against the publisher of media magnate Rupert Murdoch’s tabloid newspaper, The Sun, over claims journalists used private investigators to tap his phone and burgle his house, he said on April 17.
Grant’s case was one of several lawsuits which were eligible to go to trial at London’s High Court in January, but the actor said he had agreed to settle with NGN. NGN has always rejected allegations of any wrongdoing by staff at The Sun, having settled more than 1,300 cases – plus another 300 or so through its own compensation scheme – without making any admission of liability in relation to that paper., which focused exclusively on alleged wrongdoing at The Sun, raises questions about the sustainability of that long-held position.“The Sun does not accept liability or make any admissions to the allegations,” the NGN spokesperson said.
“So even if every allegation is proven in court, I would still be liable for something approaching £10 million in costs. I’m afraid I am shying at that fence.”
