Email marketing-doing it in a different way

I have always been a massive proponent of email marketing. But only when it is done the right way.

This High Court Judge gives ‘plain English’ explanations of some of his judgments

I was reading an interesting High Court decision yesterday involving Mr X and Google. Mr X has been battling with Google since 2015 concerning what he has described as ‘distressing material’ about Mr X that is published online. He is trying to get Google to remove the offending material from search results. This High Court… Continue reading This High Court Judge gives ‘plain English’ explanations of some of his judgments
