Giles Coren the 41 year old British food critic is at risk of being held in contempt of the UK High Court after referencing an Anonymised privacy injunction know as a Super-injunction on his Twitter stream postings, "god, ANOTHER injunction tonight. another footballer. and SUCH a boring one. fucking shit midfielder... he's yet another very ugly married man who's been carrying on with a gold-digging flopsie he should have seen coming a MILE away...". The Premier League footballer Coren referred to was granted the super- injunction over his extra-marital affair with a reality TV celebrity, claiming that publishing details how he had been unfaithful to his wife could provoke the cruel chants of supporters. Lawyers acting for the footballer have begun proceedings against Twitter, likening people breaking injunctions on the site to “burglars”.

Sir Frederick Anderson Goodwin formerly the chief executive of the Royal Bank of Scotland Group (RBS) Press aren’t allowed to call him a banker (March 16 2011)

Sir Frederick Anderson Goodwin formerly the chief executive of the Royal Bank of Scotland Group (RBS) at a secret High Court hearing obtained a super-injunction preventing the United Kingdom media from identifying him as a banker or discussing his affair with a married colleague. The ruling on the basis of privacy effectively gags all media reporting on the affair, leading to the only remaining alternative in the use of parliament privilege by a parliamentary member to disclose the extent of the gag order and its effect on freedom of speech. The use of costly super-injunctions has received much criticism in the UK for covering up celebrity scandals, and their availability to only those with the wealth to effectively purchase them.
