Jude Law and Lord Prescott are among the latest people given payouts over phone hacking by the News of the World.
Actor Law received £130,000 ($200,000) and his ex-wife Sadie Frost £50,000. The ex-deputy PM got £40,000, the High Court was told.
Sara Payne, mother of murdered schoolgirl Sarah, and Shaun Russell, whose wife and daughter were murdered in 1996, were given undisclosed sums.
News International apologised in court but said it would not comment further.
As details emerged of the latest 36 cases, lawyers said most people pursuing damages had now settled out of court.
Law's phone was repeatedly hacked between 2003 and 2006. Frost said she had distrusted him because journalists always knew where she would be, the court heard.
