______________ MR JONATHAN HILL appeared on behalf of the Claimants/Respondents MR HUGO CUDDIGAN QC appeared on behalf of the Defendants/Applicants ______________ JUDGMENT 6th November 2017, 11.10 – 11.30 (AS APPROVED) _____________ MR RECORDER CAMPBELL QC: 1.I handed down judgment in this case on 27th October this year. On that day, I made various orders consequential on that judgment. One of these was refusing the defendants’ application for a publicity order, based on the evidence before me then. 2.I have before me an application by the defendants to vary the order I made on 27th October as follows. 1.The Trial Order is hereby varied so as to include an order that by 4pm on Friday 10 November 2017, the Claimants shall at their own expense: (a)publish in a font size no smaller than Arial 11pt the notice set out in Schedule 1 to this Order on each of the web pages accessible at the URLs listed in Schedule 2 to this Order together with a hyperlink to the judgment of Mr Recorder Douglas Campbell QC dated 27 October 2017 (www.bailii.org/ew/cases/EWHC/IPEC/2017/2658.html), the said notice and hyperlink to remain displayed on the said web pages until 10 May 2018 or until further order of the court; (b)send to each of the persons or undertakings to whom the Press Release was sent (“the Recipients”) and to the Defendants’ solicitors a signed and dated letter featuring the same Scomadi letterhead as the Press Release and containing the text of the notice specified in Schedule 3 to this Order without any additional text of other material; 2.By 4pm on Friday 10 November 2017 the Claimants shall serve on the Defendants’ solicitors an affidavit containing the following information: (a)the identity and contact details of the Recipients of the Press Release (and the recipients of any substantially similar publication by the Claimants); (b) the precise locations of all places where the Press Release, or any substantially similar publication has been published since 27 October 2017, such to include but not be limited to electronic publication; and (c) confirmation that the Claimants and each of them have complied with the terms of paragraph 1 of this order. 3.Paragraph 1 is essentially a variation of the trial order so as to include various publicity orders. By paragraph 2c, the defendants seek confirmation by way of an affidavit that the claimants have complied with paragraph one of this order. Paragraphs 3 and 4 relate to costs. 4.The claimants, against whom this application is sought, accept that I have jurisdiction to vary my earlier order, citing the Supreme Court’s judgment in
