PRIVACY, SUPERINJUNCTIONS AND ANONYMITY “SELLING MY STORY WILL SORT MY LIFE OUT”

In March 2010 Adakini Ntuli sent Howard Donald a text message in which she said:  “Why shud I continue 2 suffer financially 4 the sake of loyalty when selling my story will sort my life out?”  We do not know what her story was because Mr Donald, a member of the pop band Take That, obtained a superinjunction forbidding both publication of her story and disclosure of the existence of the injunction. The Court of Appeal later allowed the parties to be named, but not the details of their relationship.
