Actor Hugh Grant has become a prominent campaigner on press reform since the scandal emerged more than a decade ago.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. However, the settlement of Grant’s lawsuit, which focused exclusively on alleged wrongdoing at The Sun, raises questions about the sustainability of that long-held position.
“Rupert Murdoch’s lawyers are very expensive,” wrote the actor, who said he would spend the money on lobby groups such as Hacked Off, which campaigns against press intrusion.
