Curbing protest disruption – Law Society’s Gazette

Posted June 20th, 2023 in demonstrations, environmental protection, freedom of expression, human rights, injunctions, London, news, nuisance, roads, trespass by sally

‘As many will have seen in the media, environmental activist group Insulate Britain (IB) has carried out London protests in a manner deliberately designed to cause serious disruption. These protest tactics have included activists deliberately blocking highways by sitting down in the road, and often gluing themselves to its surface and/or locking themselves to each other to make their removal more time-consuming. IB has repeatedly stated that these protests will continue until its demands are met.’

Snoring is not ASB, not even in Lambeth – Nearly Legal

Posted May 2nd, 2023 in anti-social behaviour, injunctions, news, noise, nuisance by tracey

‘LB Lambeth v Fanfair, County Court at Clerkenwell & Shoreditch, 14 February 2023. Our grateful thanks to Angharad Monk of Garden Court for this note of LB Lambeth’s claim for an injunction against Ms Fanfair under Part 1 Anti-Social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014, and the much delayed (if surely inevitable) strike out of the claim. A county court decision, but worthy of note here not just for the flimsy and inadequate evidence on which Lambeth initiated and pursued proceedings, but also for the way they continued to pursue proceedings for the best part of a year, despite breaching directions and despite the evidence of their own expert. Lambeth not turning up to the final hearing was perhaps a fitting dénouement. Anyway, the upshot is that ordinary noise is not ASB, and lack of sound insulation does not make ordinary use into a nuisance.’

On account payment wasn’t exercising an adjudicator’s lien – Practical Law: Construction Blog

Posted March 17th, 2023 in construction industry, dispute resolution, enforcement, injunctions, news by tracey

‘Earlier this year I wrote about the judgment in Nicholas James Care Homes Ltd v Liberty Homes (Kent) Ltd, where O’Farrell J continued an interim freezing injunction that had been granted a month or so earlier. As I said at the time, while I wouldn’t ordinarily be interested in an injunction application, I wrote about it because one of the contractor’s defences to enforcement of the adjudicator’s decision focused on the adjudicator’s request for on account payments for his fees.

Fast forward six months and the case has been back before the TCC judges (also called Nicholas James Care Homes Ltd v Liberty Homes (Kent) Ltd). This time it was in front of Recorder Andrew Singer KC (sitting as a High Court judge), who was asked to look at the payment point as part of the enforcement application. He held that the adjudicator had not exercised a lien before issuing his decision.’
