Mark Burby—Written evidence Mark Burby—Written evidence Summary (1) Operation in practice: There are real vices in the present law and practice. Those affected are likely to be afraid to provide any details about any super-injunction about which they might wish to complain, even if told that a submission to this Committee would have the benefit of Parliamentary privilege. Super-injunctions can be obtained by relying on other super-injunctions and a web of such injunctions can drastically restrict the ability of all the affected parties to prepare their case; obtain evidence; seek funding; and thereby, defend themselves. Many judges were in practice at the Bar at a time when public funding was more widely available and have scant (if any) experience of dealing with commercial funders, as is now required for those of modest means. Few have experience of the impact of webs of super-injunctions on trial preparation. The present law and practice is presently potentially unfair, unbalanced and oppressive; it may particularly favour the rich and powerful, particularly through channels not apparently visible or significant to the courts and through the momentum which unlimited funds can create in litigation. (2) Striking the balance: Mixed allegations (private and public interest), litigated together, are extremely problematic and the present approach of the courts is unsatisfactory and not intellectually rigorous. Where an application for super-injunction gains a momentum of its own, the affected party can often find it unduly difficult to oppose, especially where there is a stark inequality of arms and resources. This is compounded where one super-injunction relies on one or more others (the web point, above) and by the dangers of apparent falsity of allegations determining questions of public interest in their disclosure. (3) Enforcement: There is a real risk of abuse, where a party with (effectively) unlimited funds can litigate even the most meritless application with no material risk; in that case, enforcement proceedings are themselves oppressive, even if ultimately unsuccessful. As they are typically very expensive to defend, few can afford to run the risk of paying the richer party’s costs. This may lead to unjustified concessions being forced from weaker parties; particularly unsatisfactory when this can then be leveraged in other proceedings. (4) Call for Evidence: Those with real stories to tell may not be identifiable or willing to makes submissions to this Committee. 91
