The controversial issue of superinjunctions and the freedom of the press are to be examined by a committee set up by the Master of the Rolls, Lord Neuberger, it was announced today (6 April).

The committee includes Carter-Ruck media partner Alasdair Pepper and Schillings chief executive Rod Christie-Miller, both of whose firms have faced media scrutiny in recent months for their use of superinjunctions to prevent news organisations from revealing the identities of those involved in legal disputes.
