Demi Moore will not appear in an Australian court after a copyright lawsuit was settled privately with Pacific Magazines, publisher of the Australian magazine New Idea.
The terms of the $200,000 settlement have remained confidential, reports the Sydney Morning Herald.
Federal Court Justice John Middleton congratulated both parties for reaching a settlement outside of court.
A short hearing was held in Melbourne this morning, most likely disappointing thousands of fans who had hoped to see the Hollywood actress fly in to give evidence, said Justice Middleton.
The 47-year-old alleges Pacific Magazines invaded her privacy by printing a series of black and white photos of the actress and friends taken during an exclusive party with other Hollywood celebrities in 2008.

A former US tabloid magazine editor-in-chief was set to testify via satellite linkup regarding the high value of the pictures. They are believed to be worth more than $200,000 dollars (US$187,000), according to AFP
The photos co-starred celebrities Orlando Bloom, rapper Sean ‘P. Diddy’ Combs, Cameron Diaz and Moore’s daughter Rumer Willis at the private home of Madonna’s manager, as the Oscars were cancelled that year due to the writers’ strike.
Pacific Magazine has denied both the copyright and Moore’s duty of confidence claim.
