Anonymous Blogsite - Court Update
Further to the announcement made earlier today by Petroceltic concerning the anonymous blogsite, the Company provides an update on the Irish High Court hearing held today as mentioned in that announcement.
The Irish High Court has ordered the deletion of the blogsite and prevented the further publication of material posted by the blogger, finding, prima facie, that the material on the blog is defamatory of Petroceltic. The blog hosts, Automattic, must now immediately delete the blog and not allow any further posts from the blogger. Furthermore, the Court has ordered that the anonymous blogger be identified within a specified time frame.
Petroceltic welcomes this decision and will consider all legal options upon receipt of the information.
