Phone hacking: News of the World apologises to Sienna Miller
NGN's QC, Michael Silverleaf, said his client offered its "sincere apologies" to Miller for "the distress caused to her by accessing of her voicemail messages, the publication of the private information in the articles and the related harassment she suffered as a consequence".
Silverleaf added that NGN "acknowledges that the information should never have been obtained in the manner it was, the private information should never have been published and that the first defendant [NGN] has accepted responsibility for misuse of private information, breach of confidence and harassment".
Miller was not present to hear the statement and her solicitor Mark Thomson, a partner at Atkins Thomson, said she would not be making a statement herself. NGN was the subject of a court order to pay Miller £100,000 in damages, plus her legal costs.
David Sherborne QC, for Miller, reminded the high court that she had changed her mobile phone number three times in as many months in a bid to avoid being successfully targeted by the News of the World and Glenn Mulcaire, a private detective who formerly worked for the paper.
Sherborne added that the News of the World had published "numerous articles" in 2005 and 2006 that used private information.

Say Goodbye to The Pain of Legacy Payment Systems
Most housing associations strive to provide the best possible services to their customers. From efficient maintenance to creating vibrant communities, they have a solid commitment to offering good service. However, have you ever considered the impact your payment system has on your customers’ experience?
Some legacy payment systems have been around for years, and are now past their prime. Times have changed and housing associations need to embrace modern technology and upgrade to a payment system that aligns with the needs and expectations of today's customer. Let's explore why it's crucial for housing associations to move away from legacy payment systems and towards a new era of convenience and efficiency.
Simplify and Streamline Payment Processes
Legacy payment systems are usually linked to a digital portal and often come with convoluted and time-consuming payment processes, transfers to a separate payment system, and long reference numbers to remember. Your customers deserve a hassle-free experience when paying their rent or service charges. By adopting a modern payment system, you can simplify and streamline these processes, making it easier for customers to manage their finances.
Customers could pay their bills with just a few clicks on their smartphones, using secure and user-friendly interfaces. With a modern digital payment system, you can offer convenient options such as online payments, mobile apps, and open banking.
Enhance Financial Transparency And Build Trust
Transparency is key to building trust with your residents. Legacy systems often lack the necessary tools to provide detailed financial information in real-time. This can lead to confusion, delayed responses to residents' inquiries, and even disputes.
With a modern digital payment systems, you can provide customers with access to their payment history, statements, and outstanding balances instantly. And if customers call to discuss a payment there is no waiting for an update to happen overnight to see if their payment has been made!

GOV.UK Pay to offer mobile wallets for local government and explore open banking
Government Digital Service plans new features for payments tool as well as ongoing testing for Forms platform, to support ambition to be departments’ ‘first choice’ in building new online services
The Government Digital Service plans to add new functionality to the GOV.UK Pay platform, including allowing local authorities to take payments via mobile wallets and a possible expansion into open banking options.
The payments tool, first launched in 2015, already enables central government agencies to accept payments via smartphone-based wallet systems – such as Apple Pay and Google Pay. These options will shortly be available for payments taken by local authorities.
“This will be a great benefit to people who are paying for government services on the go, like paying for Clean Air Zone charges,” said Amanda Dahl, GDS deputy director of digital service platforms.
In a newly published blog post, Dahl – who joined GDS nine months ago, arriving from its US counterpart: the United States Digital Service – said that “with all digital products, it’s important to continue developing them based on user needs, even when they are well-established like GOV.UK Pay”.
