Super injunctions are very confusing. Thee BBC can't say who it is (even though they know) but they can report that the information is available at another media source (and they name it on the news every half hour).
Surely that would go against the terms of the initial gagging order?!
I heard them described elsewhere as trying to diffuse a bomb by punching it.
Apparently these super injunctions don't apply in Scotland!
Correct, there was someone talking on Radio Scotland about it the other day. They said a superinjunction taken out in a court in England wouldn't apply in Scotland as it's a different legal system. Anyone seeking a superinjunction would have to apply for an interdict up here. They also stated that the media in Scotland have followed any superinjunctions brought about in England though and no attempt, at the time of that broadcast, had been made to challenge that.
and a certain scottish newspaper, i assume to mention the name is to break the injunction? has apparently published details, but it seems their website is down? Coincidence?
So when's STW going to move it's servers to Scotland then?
Kelvin McKenzie sounds like a Scottish name too 
As far as I can tell **** ***** is sueing twitter for allowing his name to leak out, breaching the gagging order. if you Google 'named footballer Imogen Thomas', fourth hit for wakeywakeynews clearly shows **** ***** name, but the site itself has been shut down. Horse/stable door? There's a Twitter quote from a famous celebrity #Saving*****Privates(*****) Ha! on page 9 of The MoS. If it's that clear on the web and in a national newspaper, then the whole thing is truly farcical.
it is a farce, google Wikipedia and CTB.

although I suppose if you were to google the name of "The Scottish Paper" and the word Twitpic...

Amen.
This is all getting rather pathetic. You simply can't put the cat back in the bag, nor can you deny that it's pi55ing all over the carpets everywhere.
Published up here because the paper in question suggests that the libel laws will not stand up in Scotland.I assume they took advice first, a LOT of advice.
but who let it out the bag?
This argument that it is out there so lets talk/publish it is EXACTLY what News International argued in court and lets be honest who knew anything about it before the media started reporting about this?
Whether I support them or not it is an example of the media [IMHO] disregarding the law for a the less than noble ideal of selling you sex story for money. This is not a right I feel particularly fired up about supporting nor do I feel protected from intrusion or better able to go about my [ private ] business as a citizen as a result of this.
Who let it out of the bag? i found out about a month-6 weeks ago from someone. It was widely known in the media, they were just not meant to say anything.
My gut feeling is someone in the media knowingly leaked details, it could have been this case or a different case but this was going to happen eventually as the law is being shown to be farcical.
