Super injunctions

Celebrities have been taking advantage of privacy laws to protect their reputations. Presenter Joshua Rozenberg looks at what the future is for these laws.

While every paper has been revelling in the fact they can now name the mystery footballer who had an injunction to keep his name and his alleged affair secret, the fact remains that the injunction protecting him is still in place. This has led to a ridiculing of the judiciary in the press and on the internet and the announcement of a commission by the government to look at how our privacy laws work. This week Joshua Rozenberg looks at what has gone wrong, if the courts can control the internet and what options are available to the government if they want to change our privacy laws.
