I don't understand why he has to spend his own money to sue over this, this sounds like a criminal matter rather than a civil one? Why is Murdoch/The Sun still allowed to operate at this point?

I don’t blame him for settling. Paying legal fees for both sides could have taken a massive chunk of his judgment.
