A Super Injunction is reckoned to cost £75,000. Just reporting that there is a Super Injunction breaks the injunction and can result in a steep fine and pissibly prison. It is very secretive and stops any investigation into a story.
In many cases where the injunction has been broken, it usually turns out that the celebrity who obtained the injunction did indeed have something to hide. Ryan Giggs did have an affair with Imogen Thomas, and the injunction tied the hands of the free press.
I cannot really see the point in spending £75K if the story is not true. Especially if you are rich enough to afford to use the libel laws which could enrich you handsomely.
Apparently Kitty has had a Super Injunction for several years.

The Elm Guest house story first broke on 7th August 1982 when the Daily Express ran this story and some follow up stories for a few days after. The People, Evening Standard, Sunday Mirror and News of the World all reported on the story.

Then nothing was heard for 30 years. Possibly a D. Notice scared off Fleet Street's editors.

// So why is it being reported on now if there's a super injunction? //
What is being reported is that the Police have raided Cliff Richard's home. The press were invited and told it was in connection with historic sex allegations. The injunction cannot forbid reporting that the police are making an investigation. The Super Injunction (if it exists) only bans the celeb being connected to the hotel and the illegal activities alledged to have been done there.

Scooping,
The Elm Guest house list contained many serving MPs, mostly from the Government, but also Sinn Fein, Labour and Liberal ones. It contained Cabinet Ministers, Palace officials, and MI5 officers. I am sure a D Notice would be used in that instance.
The Notice would prevent any story on the celebs because that would reveal the people protected by the D Notice (if it exists).
D. Notices were not legally binding and editors can break them such as Rushbriger over Edward Snoewdon. However, editors that comply with them tend to get Honours and other priviledges.

As all the newspaper and other media are now awash with this story, I can't see how the High Court can continue with the Super Injunction. In the case of Ryan Giggs, the Court had to back down in the face of inevitability.
"Super Injunction"....a new phrase which means that we no longer have a free press.
