RJW v Guardian News and Media Limited ([2009] EWHC 2540 (QB)), also known as Trafigura v Guardian News and Media Limited and the Trafigura case, was a 2009 legal action in which Trafigura attempted to use a super-injunction to prevent the press reporting details of toxic waste dumping in the Ivory Coast.[1] A landmark case in UK privacy law, the case brought these types of injunction under scrutiny and caused government concern about the injunctions and how they are used.[2] The injunction was released on The Guardian after Paul Farrelly MP brought up the topic during Parliamentary Questions and the publication of the report on WikiLeaks.[3]
