Harry was able to call NGN bluff in way Hugh Grant was not able to afford to do.
Grant settlement: NGN "without admission of liability"
Harry settlement: "NGN offers a full and unequivocal apology [...] for [...] incidents of unlawful activities [...].

The editors of the Sun between 1996 and 2011, when "unlawful activities" happened, included Rebekah Brooks (2003-09) and Dominic Mohan (2009-2013). Brooks is still CEO of News UK. Will @ipso.co.uk look into this? Inadvisable to hold your breath.
