According to The Australian, the only thing to see at court was a few boring old barristers announcing to the Federal Court that Moore was otherwise occupied (i.e. tweeting about native fauna) and would not be making an appearance.

Moore's lawyers had assured the public on Friday that she would be coming down under to give evidence in her dispute with the publisher of New Idea magazine over photos she claimed breached her copyright. But yesterday it was announced an "in principle" settlement had been agreed by the parties.

Pacific Magazines confirmed this in a statement, saying: "The parties have resolved their differences and are glad that this matter is now behind them."
