He answered that he would be returning to the issue again if/when Virgin Media go live with Phorm and asked that I let him know if we hear any concrete information on it starting

Scotland Yard is part of the Met and they refused to issue me with a crime number. I doubt they would pay more attention to a letter to be honest, not on this matter. We need someone who was actually part of the trial to step up to the plate and start swinging the bat with a criminal complaint.
Once a criminal complaint has been lodged it should be relatively easy to get an injunction until that investigation is complete. Certainly from my reading of the relevant legislation over the weekend it would appear to be easier to get an injunction in parallel to an existing action as opposed to independently.
I hasten to add I am not a lawyer, I read law purely as a hobby, for academic purposes and to educate myself with regards to my legislative rights and responsibilities; so if anyone has any feedback on any of my comments please feel free to leave them.
