Court order sent via Twitter

AN anonymous blogger impersonating English solicitor Donal Blaney on Twitter has complied with an injunction issued via the micro-blog platform.

Court order sent via Twitter

Earlier this month the High Court in London gave permission for the injunction to be served via Twitter. The order was served against an unknown Twitter user who anonymously posts to the site using the same name as Mr Blaney, who is a right-wing political blogger who blogs at a site called Blaney’s Blarney.

The Twitter injunction, the first of its kind, was allowed by the judge because it was the only means of communication with the defendant.
