Rochdale Metropolitan Borough Council v Persons Unknown
Rochdale Metropolitan Borough Council v Persons Unknown [2026] EWHC 1214 (KB)
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.
