The Sun newspaper has apologised in the High Court for accessing private information on a stolen mobile phone belonging to a Labour MP.
Police told Siobhain McDonagh her text messages had been accessed after her phone was stolen in October 2010.
The Sun - which has not admitted the theft of the phone itself - will pay the MP "very substantial damages".
The court has heard "possibly hundreds" of new claimants are seeking damages from the now defunct News of the World.
The MP - who represents London constituency Mitcham and Morden - had her phone stolen from her car in south west London.
David Sherborne, representing Ms McDonagh, told Mr Justice Vos that in June 2012 police notified her that they had "obtained evidence that The Sun newspaper had accessed her text messages from about October 2010" and "appeared to have accessed and/or acquired her mobile phone".
A Sun lawyer said the newspaper accepted that her mobile phone "should not have been accessed" and added: "There has been a serious misuse of her private information".
The admission came as the court heard potentially hundreds of people could seek damages from News Group Newspapers following a new Metropolitan Police investigation.
Hugh Tomlinson QC told the hearing that the new claims could arise from Operation Pinetree, a probe into a second phone hacking conspiracy.
Some 145 claimants have meanwhile settled claims in the second tranche of cases with more than 20 cases pending.
