I note that Index use the same formulation above to obliquely point to the answer online. Interestingly, Farrelly's question is itself an example of 'point you in the right direction'. The simple act of questioning draws attention to the case and the leaked Minton Report. That's why it was the target of the injunction. So - How long before Carter-Ruck include such pointers, such as reporting that their client might be trending on Twitter, in any further injunction they might seek to bring?
