Sienna Miller won £53,000 at the high court last year for pictures taken around the world. Miller claimed that relentless pursuit by photographers had made her life “intolerable”. The case, based on anti-harassment laws, invoked privacy rights and led to an agreement that Big Pictures would stop pursuing her. It came a week after News Group Newspapers paid Miller £35,000 for reproducing photos of her filming a nude scene for a movie.

Madonna demanded more than £5m in damages last year from the Mail on Sunday for publishing photos of her wedding to film director Guy Ritchie. The photos, which were taken from her home in Beverly Hills, California, were found to have been a breach of privacy in London’s high court, although the amount of damages eventually accepted by the singer was not revealed.

Britney Spears obtained an emergency injunction in the high court in March 2007 barring publication of details of her stay in a US rehabilitation clinic. Schillings, her London-based lawyers, said the injunction would prevent further leaks, after details of her stay at the Promises clinic in Malibu emerged. The singer entered treatment shortly after shaving her head in public.
