Neuberger report says media should get prior warning of injunctions

Wouldn't it be be wonderful if for once the Judiciary, the legal profession, the media and the great British public (of which I am one) finally understood the power of social media. Those of us with IP addresses outside UK can blather on to our heart's content about who does what to whom in the UK with little or no practical (or legal) consequence. To leave matters as they are is an abuse of process and plain dumb. However according to the BBC to date there have only been 2 applications for this type of injunction. Yes, we should all be outraged that anyone (famous or infamous) should seek such protection but thankfully there does not appear to have been an outbreak of legal 'interference'.Anyway there is no substitute for gossip at the watercooler and who was it who said to be told something in confience means that you can only tell one other person at a time!
