There’s an interesting side-swipe at media lawyers from Lord Walker quoted on the UKSC blog in discussing privacy injunctions.
“The development of this branch of the law in England has undoubtedly been accelerated by the egregious conduct of the British press, and the readiness of the legal profession to encourage highly-paid footballers, TV personalities and other celebrities to seek prior restraint in the form of an ex-parte injunction… These so-called super injunctions – secret justice, you might say, available only to the super rich – have raised serious issues.”
