I arent 100% sure that what I have said above is right and I remain open-minded. Maybe a county court would have the authority and jurisdiction to issue the injunction itself if convinced of the arguments or merits of the case. Its just my gut instinct is telling me otherwise.

i see people not companies, and its people that are just like you and me and subject to the exact same rules and laws, they might forget that in their high office, i dont, but perhaps thats just me!.
All points with merit and I think its pretty clear by their actions (both those of Phorm and the ISPs) that they a) thought they could get away with this because people wouldnt notice and b) those in charge let the ££££ cloud their judgement regarding the legal ramifications of all this.

Phorm, BT, Virgin Media and Carephone Warehouse arent above the law and hopefully, one way or another, they will be brought to book for this.

Time for bed.
