Injunctions - Current Example

A bit tabloid like but I have just read a story on a super injunction being lifted by the court of appeal. The injunction was obtained by Take That 'star' Howard Donald against a former girlfriend but what is quite interesting is that the injunction prevented her from selling her story but the super injunction prevented Donald from being named.

The article reads:
'Before lawyers became involved, Ntuli hired the publicist Max Clifford and entered into negotiations with the News of the World newspaper.

"Why shud I continue 2 suffer financially 4 the sake of loyalty when selling my story will sort my life out?" she asked Donald in a text message sent in March.

This led Donald to apply for an injunction that stopped Ntuli from disclosing confidential information and granted the musician anonymity.

Nituli subsequently appealed on the grounds that "anonymisation and non-disclosure of the existence of the proceedings [were] inappropriate". '
