Hi,

Question for the legally minded/those with more knowledge than I.

I see a lot of reports of groups etc, taking legal action on behalf of 'the general public' on various issues. If this is the case would it not be possible for the Foundation for Information Policy Research to apply for an injunction (my legal knowledge minimal, my red wine knowledge three large glasses) against Phorm?

Nicholas Bohm, general counsel for the Foundation for Information Policy Research said (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/7339263.stm):

"This is not the end of the road. We will be taking it further. We are not satisfied with the ICO response on interception,"

Could this mean they could/will?

Regards

WinstonS
