Super Injunction

 

A Premier League footballer has become the latest high–profile celebrity to win a gagging order preventing the public finding out damaging details of an alleged extramarital affair.

 

The unnamed player is said to have had a six–month relationship with Imogen Thomas, a former Miss Wales who appeared on the Channel 4 series Big Brother.

 

On Thursday, after The Sun claimed 28–year–old Miss Thomas had been meeting the married player for sexual intercourse at hotels, the footballer obtained a High Court injunction against Miss Thomas and the publishers of the newspaper.

 

In a private hearing, Mr Justice Eady granted an interim gagging order until April 20. Miss Thomas, who was not notified of the hearing, will have a chance then to challenge the ruling.

 

More than 30 sportsmen, celebrities and businessmen have been granted injunctions in the past two years, leading to accusations that judges have, in effect, brought in a privacy law without one being passed in Parliament.

 

A leading actor who cheated on his wife with a prostitute is facing an uphill struggle to keep his identity secret, despite being granted a gagging order by a judge.

 

The actor's name appeared on several internet sites yesterday after Helen Wood, a call girl whose other clients have included Wayne Rooney, said she had been paid £195 for sex by the unnamed man.

 

On Wednesday, a High Court judge upheld an order preventing newspapers from naming the "world famous celebrity", as he was described in court, but lifted a ban on naming Miss Wood or detailing the nature of her claims.

 

It led to speculation on the internet about the actor's identity, with a number of websites correctly identifying him. Mark Stephens, a leading media lawyer, said privacy injunctions had created a "two–tier freedom of speech" system. He said: "These injunctions are not enforceable outside the UK, so foreign newspapers and websites are free to report the names of those involved.

 

"In the age of the internet, people using the courts to obtain injunctions ought to be identified, even if the media cannot report why they have sought the injunction, otherwise you have a two–tier freedom of speech situation and that clearly is wrong."
