Revealed! Take That super-injunction

The Court of Appeal has lifted an order preventing Howard Donald of Take That being named as the claimant in an injunction against his former girlfriend.

In April, Mr Justice Eady granted Donald an injunction restraining his former girlfriend, Adakini Ntuli, from publishing, communicating or disclosing to a third party the fact of their relationship and from publishing the fact the injunction had been either sought or obtained.

In Adakini Ntuli v Howard Donald [2010] EWCA Civ 1276, Lord Neuberger and two Lords Justice upheld the injunction against publication but ruled that Donald and Ntuli be named.

Lord Justice Maurice Kay said that “it would have been possible and appropriate for Eady J to have written his judgment in a publishable form”.
