  • Profession: Actress

  • Associated with: Jude Law, Rhys Ifans

The 26-year-old had sought default judgment and a permanent injunction against Warren Richardson, who snapped her while filming Hippie Hippie Shake on a private estate in Surrey.

She’s already settled her case against News Group Newspapers and Xposure Photo Agency, who paid her £37,500 damages and gave an undertaking not to use the photos again.

Her counsel, David Sherborne, told Mr Justice Eady in London the actress, who’s currently abroad, was "extremely distressed" by the incident on the closed set.

The "highly intrusive" pictures of Sienna removing her clothes and entering a lake were taken without her consent using a long lens and provided to Xposure by Richardson. He argued there was no possible defence to the claim for invasion of privacy and breach of confidence. The photos were plainly private and confidential and Sienna had a reasonable expectation that her privacy wouldn’t be blatantly flouted.

Counsel said Richardson had refused to give his postal address and failed to comply with an earlier order to deliver up the photos.

Richardson, representing himself, said he would agree not to use the photos. He said he worked for Xposure for a small percentage and was obliged to give them his pictures, although he had no power over their sale.

The judge said that, under the circumstances, it was "entirely appropriate" to make the orders sought.

Any damages will be assessed at a later date. Richardson was ordered to pay the costs of the hearing within four months.

The final contender is Canadian actress Ellen Page, 20, who played the lead in the film Hard Candy and is notching up warm reviews for her role as a pregnant teenager in the forthcoming movie Juno.

The shortlist was chosen by a jury consisting of industry figures and Green and chaired by Duncan Kenworthy, the producer of films like Love Actually.

Film fans can have their say by voting via the Orange website orange.co.uk/bafta or text message. The winner of the Orange Rising Star Award will be announced at the Baftas on February 10.
