The claim arose from protest activity that occurred in 2022 inside the perimeter and in the locality of the Terminal. The factual and procedural background to the claim is set out at [3]–[13] and [18]-[43] of the judgment that followed the trial: North Warwickshire Borough Council v Barber & Others [2024] EWHC 2254 (KB) (‘NWBC’).

On 6 September 2024, I granted a ‘final’ order, prohibiting protests within the boundary of the Terminal and restricting certain protest activity within the locality of the Terminal (‘the Injunction’). A power of arrest was attached to the Injunction, pursuant to s.27 of the Police and Justice Act 2006. The Injunction was to remain effective until 16:00 on 6 September 2027, subject to annual reviews. The hearing on 18 September 2025 was the first such review.
