The current issue of Private eye has an article on a rash of so called super-injunctions. it isnt published on their website but say
The new breed of super injunction is far more opressive than the traditional court order under which a newspaper or tv channelis (Perhaps temporarily) prevented  from publishing a particular allegegation. It usually includes an order that "the publication of all information relating to these proceedings or of information describing them or the intended claim is expressly prohibited" (our italics) In other words no one can report that the order has been granted, or who applied for it, Even the identities of the judge and the newspaper remain secret, and anyone who even hints at them "May be held in contempt of court and may be imprisoned, fined, or have their assets siezed"

Apparently this is at least the 13th such order the guardian  has recieved this year, although this one goes further in  actually trying to ban the reporting of parliament. The eye points out that noone knows how many of these injunctions exist, because the different recipients cant talk to each other about them.

Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.
