phone tapping

British actor Hugh Grant settled a lawsuit against the publisher of The Sun over claims of phone tapping and burglary. Grant, known for films like “Love Actually” and “Notting Hill,” has been a vocal advocate for press reform. The settlement raises questions about the publisher’s long-held position of denying wrongdoing. Grant did not want to settle but feared the high legal costs if he lost at trial. The settlement may prevent a trial over unlawful information-gathering, but Prince Harry’s lawsuit against the publisher continues.
