A true professional
Adam, Isabel,
You have certainly provided you client Trafigura with such excellent advice. I am sure you must both take great professional pride in your jobs and enhance your firm’s reputation suppressing reports like this:

as well as a guaranteed front-page in the Guardian and other newspapers when the injunction is inevitably overturned, followed by leading billing on Channel 4 news and Newsnight.
It is rather fortunate that we have ethical, fair-minded lawyers like you sleeping happily in their beds knowing they have helped prevent injustice and safeguarded hard-won freedoms rather than those other materialistic solicitors who might chase high-paying clients. I recommend that you give a talk at your children’s schools telling them about your poorly-paid jobs championing what is right.
I am sure Balliol and Jesus must be very proud that they have produced lawyers such as yourselves, and given the excellent publicity you have generated for both Carter-Ruck and Trafigura, I am sure students of such renowned academic institutions will be queuing to join your illustrious organisations.
Again, I am sure Trafigura will be delighted at the results of the high-quality media management advice you have provided, which I am sure was exceedingly good value for money.
Regards.

Isabel Hudson: What a lawyer

adam.tudor@carter-ruck.com,
Do you really think that they were that stupid – or perhaps they were putting up a smokescreen for some other purpose?
As I wrote, these two lawyers do seem to be utter geniuses.
Newsnight this evening should be interesting, its web site stating:
Also, a law firm has abandoned a bid to prevent the British press from reporting proceedings in Parliament.
Carter-Ruck had tried to stop all media revealing that a Labour MP had tabled a question relating to oil-trading firm Trafigura and Ivory Coast toxic waste.
When Paul Farrelly asked about an injunction blocking the publication of a report on the waste, called the Minton report, Carter-Ruck argued that an order stopping media revealing that the report had been blocked applied to Parliament.
Tonight Liz McKean will report on this case and the prevalence of media laws being used by large companies to restrict information.
