Hugh Grant @HackedOffHugh has settled with Murdoch and The Sun for one reason alone. "The rules around civil litigation mean that if I proceed to trial and the court awards me damages that are even a penny less than the settlement offer, I would have to pay the legal costs of both sides" So even if Hugh Grant won, he'd have to pay the legal costs of both him and Murdoch estimated at over £10 million Justice? The truth belongs to the rich as @tomburgis says Grant says the settlement money will now be repurposed to help others

@carolvorders @HackedOffHugh In this country, which we are always told we should be proud of, justice depends on the size of your wallet. What chance do us minnows have if Hugh is denied his day in court. The system needs to change and change quickly. Yet again the odds are stacked in favour of the wealthy
@leafus_boyo @carolvorders @HackedOffHugh Yes even quite wealthy people in my family say they can’t afford to go to Law so heaven help us ordinary people .
@leafus_boyo @carolvorders @HackedOffHugh Justice is only for poor ppl to send them to jail or rip them off...because the wealthy never face any
