TRAFIGURA: The Guardian was served with a gagging order forbidding it from reporting parliamentary business.

Posted on October 13, 2009 by admin

&#8220-The Guardian is prevented from identifying the MP who has asked the question, what the question is, which minister might answer it, or where the question is to be found. The Guardian is also forbidden from telling its readers why the paper is prevented – for the first time in memory – from reporting parliament.&#8221-

&#8220-The only fact the Guardian can report is that the case involves the London solicitors Carter-Ruck, who specialise in suing the media for clients, who include individuals or global corporations.&#8221-

UPDATE:

– The Trafigura fiasco tears up the textbook.

– Gordon Brown calls for reform of super-injunctions.
