Courts: Super-injunctions
- Question
- To ask Her Majesty’s Government what steps they will take to ensure that the public interest is taken into account in the granting of super-injunctions. My Lords, in the absence of my noble friend Lord Oakeshott of Seagrove Bay, and with his consent, I beg leave to ask the Question standing in his name on the Order Paper.
- Answer
-
My Lords, the Government recognise the importance of finding the right balance between individual rights to privacy on the one hand and the right to freedom of expression and transparency of official information on the other. The Government will await the report of the Master of the Rolls’ Committee on the use of super-injunctions before deciding on next steps.
