Wissam Al Mana’s application for information about fake advertisements was adjourned by the High Court on 25 March 2020. The application concerns adverts that allegedly used his name and image to link him to Bitcoin Trader, a cryptocurrency trading programme.

The application seeks a Norwich Pharmacal order requiring Facebook Ireland Ltd to disclose information that could identify the people who placed the adverts. Ms Justice Leonie Reynolds urged both sides to continue trying to resolve their differences and said she was prepared to hear the application if they could not agree.
