Singer Adele's lawsuit drama has ended as the British star's son reportedly accepted a five-figure sum in damages over a privacy case filed versus paparazzi photographers, said a report from BBC.
Angelo Adkins, the two-year-old son of singer Adele, will receive the lawsuit settlement from photo agency Corbis Images UK Limited, who took photos of the toddler with his mom against their knowledge.
The pictures were taken during family occasions in June and November of 2013.
The "Rolling in the Deep" singer and her partner Simon Konecki filed the case in 2013 after the paparazzi illegally took pictures of what they described as Angelo's "milestone moments." The agency, trading as Splash News and Picture Agency, went on to make the images available for publishing in the English press, said the BBC report.
Following the court ruling on singer Adele's lawsuit, Corbis Images UK Limited has agreed to pay damages and legal costs. Moreover, the agency has committed to not to use the photos again.
A report from TMZ also pointed out that the privacy laws in England, where the photos of Angelo were taken, are much stronger than in the U.S. The report said Adele claims that "kids of celebrities are not public property, so paparazzi have no right to invade their privacy."
Jenny Afia, the solicitor of singer Adele for the said lawsuit, told the High Court in London that the Grammy winner was emphatic about the whole ordeal.
"It is a matter of profound sadness that many of (Angelo's) milestone moments, such as his first family outing and his first trip to playgroup, were photographed and published worldwide expressly against his family's wishes," Ms Afia said, according to BBC.
"These images were taken during private, recreational time unconnected with professional or public engagements. They represent a clear infringement of our client's right to privacy," the solicitor added.
