Supermodel Naomi Campbell has won her High Court privacy action against the Mirrornewspaper over a photograph it published of her leaving a Narcotics Anonymous meeting.
She has been awarded £3500 sterling damages.
Ms Campbell had sought damages against the paper for breach of confidence and unlawful invasion of privacy over a story last year that she was attending meetings of Narcotics Anonymous.

The ruling followed a week of legal arguments and evidence in February, during which Ms Campbell spent more than a day in the witness box.
In her evidence, she admitted being a drug addict but said the story had left her feeling shocked, angry, betrayed and violated.
Mirroreditor Mr Piers Morgan hit back by telling the court that he had rarely encountered a celebrity who had so voraciously invaded her own privacy.
Two weeks ago, Mr Campbell won a separate High Court battle against a former personal assistant who spilled the beans about the model's private life to a Sunday newspaper.
