National Highways Limited v Kirin
[2023] EWHC 3000 (KB)
Key Principle
To establish liability for contempt by breach of an injunction against persons unknown, the claimant need only prove valid service of the order to the criminal standard and a deliberate breach; the defendant's actual knowledge of the injunction goes to sanction, not liability, and absence of knowledge proved by the defendant means no penalty is imposed.
