IT IS clear that there will soon be a debate in Parliament about the way rich celebrities can obtain super injunctions after committing actions which they want to have kept outside he public domain because of embarrassment.

It is not justice when it is so obviously a question of a law for the rich and a law for the poor.

If there are relatives to protect from unwelcome publicity, an injunction should apply whether a person has the money or not It seems to annoy the judges that their super injunctions are undermined by the internet.

Recently, when a footballer obtained a super injunction I was told his name and there were literally millions of entries on the internet about him. Modern technology has jumped ahead of the law, and the judiciary is discomforted by it.

Modern technology is available to large numbers of people and the powerful in the land are no more able to control what is communicated than airlines can prevent the outpourings from a volcano in Iceland from interfering with their flight schedules.

Are the mighty finally being brought down to size?.
