Contempt of court

Cuadrilla Bowland Ltd and others v Persons unknown entering or remaining without the consent of the claimant(s) on land at Little Plumpton as more particularly described in the claim form and shown edged red on the plan annexed to the claim form and others [2020] EWCA Civ 9, [2020] All ER (D) 105 (Jan)

The Court of Appeal, Civil Division, outlined the ways the terms of an injunction might be unclear which were relevant when deciding whether to grant an injunction and, if so, in what terms, and where an application was made to enforce compliance or punish breach of an injunction by seeking an order for committal. It further held that there was no principle which justified treating the conscientious motives of a protestor as a licence to flout court orders with impunity from imprisonment, but gave reasons for showing greater clemency to such acts than in dealing with other disobedience of the law.
