Has The Guardian ever been in Court?!

• The paper was at the centre of controversy, documents regarding cruise missiles were leaked to The Guardian in 1983 by civil servant Sarah Tisdall. The paper eventually handed over the documents because of a court order that made them 
• The Guardian was sued for libel along with Granada Television programme 'World in Action' by the then cabinet minister Jonathan Aitken, over an allegation that the paper had made. 
• The court case was won by The Guardian because they produced evidence against Aitken. 

• The Guardian has also been 'gagged' twice by injunctions (court orders) one which was from barclays bank, after The Guardian was investigating tax avoidance and was looking in to some companies that were listed in the FTSE 100, (Barclays was one of those companies) 
• The second time was by Trafigura, an oil company. Within this same case, The Guardian were also 'forbidden' to report on parliamentary matters, for reasons they could not say. Trafigura in the end dropped the injunction a day before The Guardian was going to take it to high court.
