The mother of Hugh Grant's baby has received a high court undertaking from a picture agency not to pursue or harass her, in a ruling that could give celebrities new protection against paparazzi photographers.
Mr Justice Tugendhat has issued an order accepting the "permanent undertakings" from celebrity news agency Splash News "not to doorstep, pursue or harass Tinglan Hong or her child with paparazzi photography or place either of them under surveillance or approach within 100 metres of their home".
The order is the latest stage in Grant's legal campaign to get photographers banned from outside Hong's home.
Last year Hong told the high court how her life has been made "unbearable" by the constant pursuit by photographers, including "a tall man in his 30s" driving a black Audi car who she claimed caused her to crash.
She claimed that on some occasions as many as 10 or more people have been camped outside her house, staying all night even in the rain, in the hope of getting a picture.
Her account of her experience since she gave birth to Grant's child last year emerged in November when Tugendhat gave his reasons for granting an injunction forbidding harassment by unnamed photographers of Hong.
