May 9, 201114 yr You didn't forget to post it - I deleted it. If people want to look for it, that's their business but I don't want Buzzjack to be accused of doing anything to breach an injunction. Suedehead
May 20, 201114 yr There's an interesting compilation of ALLEGED (lawyers to the left plx) super (and HYPER, which is an interesting new concept) injunctions on the following spreadsheet. https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0As...=CJiN6NIJ#gid=0 I have to say, those Gareth Williams ones are more than a little chilling if they're true. Surely they're definitely in the public interest?
May 20, 201114 yr Author One of Take That has got an injunction to stop papers publishing he's BALD?! :rofl:
May 21, 201114 yr Author I really don't understand how exactly **** ***** thinks he can sue Twitter... does a British court have any authority over something based in the US? What's more, this has turned it into a global story... whereas before, no-one outside the UK had heard of Imogen and very few had heard of *****, meaning the foreign press didn't care at all, now that he's "suing twitter", plenty of foreign news outlets are reporting it and aren't affected by the injunction. It's also now on his Wikipedia page, because there's now reliable sources thanks to reputable foreign papers reporting it.
May 21, 201114 yr The guy's an absolute tool. Perhaps he should keep his cock in his pants before he goes about on this mission. He's definitely losing it in his old age.

May 22, 201114 yr Good on the Scottish press! Surely they could argue that the super-injunctions aren't binding in Scotland under Scots Law and just post the hell out of it. After all I'm sure that Wiki article on mentions England & Wales.

After all I'm sure that Wiki article on mentions England & Wales. Yeah, I was actually wondering the other day if these super-injunctions are even enforceable in Scotland. Do they actually name him explicitly btw?
May 22, 201114 yr Yeah, I was actually wondering the other day if these super-injunctions are even enforceable in Scotland. Do they actually name him explicitly btw? I'm not sure because it's an application of Statute that isn't a devolved matter but it's an application under English law which stops having jurisdiction the second you cross the border. The picture they posted makes it clear it's him but they haven't to my knowledge actually printed his name.
May 22, 201114 yr HE'LL SHAG WHO HE WANTS, HE'LL SHAG WHO HE WANTS, THAT BOY ******, HE'LL SHAG WHO HE WANTS. Seriously though, hats off to the Herald for doing this. Perhaps the courts will now begin to realise the epic flaws these injunctions bring. That compared with the fact that everybody basically knew anyway.
May 22, 201114 yr Surely the culprit realises that everyone knows it's him! There isn't much point hiding it anymore. Recently other news papers keep printing pictures of him and his wife at events and it's very rare you see them picture of him in a newspaper if it's not about footie.
May 22, 201114 yr It's amazing that all these well paid lawyers keep making this basic mistake. The same thing happened a few years ago with Jack Straw's son. They go to all the bother of going to court in England and obtaining injunctions. And then forget about Scotland and separate Scots law. Only to have their client's identity splashed over the Scottish papers the next day. Never mind suing Twitter. I think the Footballer in question should be suing his own lawyers for general diddiness! :lol: And I agree. The whole thing is a total waste of time. Everyone and their granny knew weeks ago who he was. :P

May 22, 201114 yr So they aren't enforceable in Scotland? Sweet! *takes to twitter* Don't blame Jups if you find a lawsuit in the post the next day :(
May 22, 201114 yr I think a separate petition has to be made to the Court of Session in Edinburgh for such things to apply up here but I'm not an expert on law type things :unsure:
May 22, 201114 yr Author What I don't understand is, how are people supposed to even KNOW what injunctions are in place? Obviously you'd've had to have been living under a rock to not know about the Imogen one, but say I found out someone else who had an injunction was having an affair, but I didn't know they had an injunction, and then I put it in my university's newspaper - would I be liable to get sued, even though there's no way I would've known there was an injunction in place? The whole thing is a farce.
