Lord Neuberger has published his long-awaited report on superinjunctions. His committee was set up in April 2010 in order to "examine the issues around the use of injunctions which bind the press and so-called 'super-injunctions'". In summary, the report emphasises the principles of open justice and the right to freedom of speech, and that courts should "ensure that any derogation from open justice is the minimum necessary to secure the proper administration of justice". It recommends that Civil Procedure Rule 39.2 (concerning public hearings) should be amended to make reference to the strict necessity test.

The committee charged with reviewing the use of superinjunctions has called for the media to have advance notice of privacy orders and for the Government to monitor the use of injunctions. Pulling back from recommending major changes in its 100-page report, the committee chaired by the Master of the Rolls Lord Neuberger today (20 May) argued that the current regime for granting injunctions is working effectively.

It is a mark of the media frenzy over privacy injunctions that the topic has continued to hog the headlines even while a related issue of arguably far more significance has played out: the dramatic escalation of the phone-hacking scandal. True, the issue has dogged News International for years but it was only last month that the company issued an apology and moved to compensate victims – a measure that came a week after two senior News of the World (NoW) journalists were arrested on suspicion of unlawfully intercepting voicemail messages.

In Legal Week's recent interview with Keith Schilling in the article Private Versus Public Keith has, I'm afraid, got away with a couple of distortions about privacy actions. He comments: "Parliament has legislated in favour of privacy" and that as regards injunctions it is "not secret justice between the claimant and the court". He says that "the media are also involved; generally it is tripartite, which is the whole point of an injunction, as the media need to know the terms of the injunction to be bound by it".

In the increasingly heated debate about the state of English privacy law, the courts have frequently been accused of seeking to introduce a privacy law 'by the back door'. The decision in CTB v News Group Newspapers [2011] contains a robust judicial response to that criticism. In his judgment, Mr Justice Eady - the judge who has so far borne the brunt of the media's ire - tackles head on the suggestion that the judges are overriding the democratic process by unilaterally creating a new privacy law. The judgment also touches on another important and controversial issue, namely the circumstances in which an injunction should be refused or restricted on the basis that the private material has already entered the public domain.

What better way to relax after a hard week's sweating over an extended focus on libel and privacy law than listening to The Guardian's editor give a lecture on libel reform? A minor streak of obsession with the topic had set in by the time I sat down in the lecture theatre at City University on Tuesday to hear from Alan Rusbridger. As you'd expect, he put the position for libel reform, freedom of speech and concern over privacy law somewhat better than most of the self-serving fluff the media has served up in recent weeks.

Already facing smaller payouts and a drop in claims, libel work has faded from its 1980s glory days. Will reform of defamation and civil costs - and the rise of reputation managers - spell the end for traditional libel lawyers?

It seemed like a good idea at the time. With plenty of interesting recent developments, I decided to write the lead piece for this week's in depth on defamation and privacy. Then stuff kept happening… well, it's certainly been fascinating but it's also been a fairly depressing spectacle as the debate about privacy, libel and free speech has been warped beyond all recognition by media hysteria.

Hardly a day has gone by without coverage in the media of privacy injunctions. It is a subject that has excited the media, from The Star to The Times. But what is the difference between 'super', 'hyper' and 'anonymised' injunctions, and is all the media fuss really justified?

The benefits of social media come along with substantial risks that may be in conflict with local ethics rules or create privacy concerns for your clients.
