Hugh Grant has been priced out of his ‘phone hacking’ lawsuit against The Sun, after learning it would cost him more money to win than it would cost Rupert Murdoch.

@rachel_a @davidallengreen That's a total BS quote. It's no big skill to have a superior war chest.

You have not read the post - I can tell. A big war chest would have not made any difference in particular case, had it not been for the Part 36 mechanism. This case would otherwise have gone for trial.

I appreciate that you may want to type out strong-sounding things - "total BS" etc - but here the facts do not support you.
