On an unrelated note, the following question: "62 N Paul Farrelly (Newcastle-under-Lyme): To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, if he will (a) collect and (b) publish statistics on the number of non-reportable injunctions issued by the High Court in each of the last five years." from http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm200809/cmordbk2/91013o02.htm is interesting. There is a serious problem with the difficulty members of the public have over finding out what orders have been made by the High Court. The recent order supposedly served by twitter (though whether this is the case is unclear from the reports) was almost impossible to unearth, yet of some public interest. I'd strongly support anyone campaigning for more freedom of speech, but it seems all we have are rather pusillanimous suggestions for reform mostly pushed by the press. I'd be happy to see the law of defamation abolished (we hardly need it). -- Francis Davey _______________________________________________ Mailing list [email protected] Archive, settings, or unsubscribe: https://secure.mysociety.org/admin/lists/mailman/listinfo/developers-public
