JurisdictionUnited Kingdom
CourtHigh Court (King's Bench Division)
Year2026
StatusPersuasive authority

Key Principle

On review/extension of a 'persons unknown' (newcomer) injunction restraining unauthorised encampments, the court applies the Wolverhampton UKSC framework and the test settled in the earlier 2025 Rochdale decision, granting an extension only where a compelling need is shown, procedural safeguards and the strict duty of full disclosure are observed, and it is just and convenient to do so.
