Injunctions again - Andrew Marr?

Well in a rather unexpected move, a Daily Mail exclusive will reveal in the paper tomorrow (and on the website this very second) that Andrew Marr, BBC Broadcaster is one celebrity who had taken out an injunction but has revealed himself because the increased use of them by celebrities was 'out of control' and that these injunctions should not last 'forever'. He publicly outed his injunction after " public controversy over injunctions intensified, [and] Mr Marr found himself featuring in newspapers anonymously, with his face published as a silhouette, alongside other mystery celebrities who have cheated on their wives but who could not be named. That led him to the conclusion that he no longer wished to share their company."

What the aftermath of this will be remains to be seen but some critics of injunctions are hopeful it may be able to change the law if other celebs follow suit as it highlights the absurdity of injunctions.

Read the article here and decide for yourself whether Marr was right to take out an injunction in the first place and whether he was right again to expose his own wrongdoing.
