Whenever there is a significant breach of privacy and/or breach of personal data, you may be granted a privacy injunction, from the outset and without a trial. This is helpful if you are either trying to prevent the misuse of private information, or where the misuse of the private information or the breach of personal data that has already occurred, is still limited in scope. Note that breach of privacy often involves offline or online harassment, either with the actual publication of the private information or, more often, with the threat to publish the private information. Cases of internet blackmail often constitute both, breach of privacy and harassment.
