London - Sienna Miller's privacy and harassment claim against Britain's News of the World tabloid over alleged phone-hacking by its reporters was settled for £100 000 (R1.1m) worth of damages on Tuesday.
Miller was one of the main plaintiffs suing Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation over allegations reporters at the tabloid illegally listened to voice messages to get scoops.
The 29-year-old actress last month agreed to accept the damages along with an unconditional admission of liability.
Her lawyer David Sherborne told London's High Court that in 2005 and 2006 she was the subject of numerous articles which contained "intrusive and private information", the Press Association reported.
As well as the damages and her legal costs, Miller, who was not at court for the hearing, was granted an injunction preventing any further unlawful accessing of her voicemail and publication of her private information.
The order also provided for disclosure of information about the extent of the snooping activities and expressly allows her to come back to court in the light of any new material.
