The News of the World issued its “sincere apologies” to actress Sienna Miller for phone hacking at the High Court today and formally settled her privacy and harassment claim for £100,000.
The 29-year-old actress was not at London’s High Court for the brief hearing, but her counsel David Sherborne told Mr Justice Vos that in 2005 and 2006 she was the subject of numerous articles ontaining “intrusive and private information”.

As well as the damages and her legal costs, Ms Miller was granted an injunction preventing any further unlawful access of her voicemail and publication of her private information.

The order also provided for disclosure of information about the extent of the activities and allows her to come back to court in the light of any new material.
