McManus Facebook injunction thrown out

A HIGH Court injunction application by JP McManus over fake Facebook profiles of him was struck out after a judge was told the pages had been taken down.

Separate proceedings by Mr McManus against Facebook for alleged breach of privacy will be heard later.

On Friday, Mr McManus’ lawyers got High Court permission to serve notice of injunction proceedings against Facebook. The court heard that representatives of Mr McManus had asked that three profiles claiming to be him be taken down, but that this had not been successful.
