Now you can serve an injunction via twitter

A UK court has allowed the right-wing political blogger Donal Blaney to serve an injunction on a Twitter user who uses the name of his blog and his photo.

Mr Blaney decided to use Twitter after a recent case in Australia where Facebook was used to serve a court order.

The blogger, who is also a lawyer and owns the firm serving the order, said that he thought that it was the first time Twitter had been used to deliver a court order.

The injunction – known as the Blaney’s Blarney Order – is due to be served at 1930 BST and will include a link to the text of the full court order.

The only problem is it looks like twitter have baned the wrong user. They appear to have banned http://twitter.com/Donal_Blarney and left the fake http://twitter.com/blaneysblarney up.

Oops….
