So apparently despite the misleading name, these aren't injunctions which save the babies of other injunctions from burning buildings.

afaik they stop the press from reporting that they aren't allowed to report something confused We only found out about the Ivory Coast thing because an MP asked a question about it on purpose...

Where's the justification for their use in a free (stop laughing at the back) society?

There is very little justification.

We sadly live in a society where the rich get protection that the poor do not, because the rich can afford to pay the court fees.

Where can one go to find out about these things we're not allowed to read about here in the UK?

And before someone says; "Google", as we can't read about them how do we know they even exist? Ergo, is there somewhere that tells us what the UK press aren't currently allowed to report on? Because if not, there should be!

Would have been wikileaks, but they seem to have run out of cash at the moment

Just went to their page. That is a shame. Wish there was a rich philanthropist that could help fund them.

I could be wrong here but the OP is more about the time old Right to Privacy vs Freedom of the Press battle rather than libel per se.
