Judgment
[1]At 2 pm on Wednesday 5th August 2015 there was listed before me the hearing of a return date in relation to an injunction which was granted by Laing J. on Saturday 1st August 2015. Laing J. gave an open judgment [2015] EWHC 2361 (QB) in the morning on Wednesday 5th August 2015 giving her reasons for making the injunction. The relevant background is set out in that judgment.[2]In the event the parties agreed orders containing undertakings and directions for trial, which meant that the hearing before me did not go ahead. This short judgment records that fact by way of open judgment, and this is because the orders provided for a derogation from the principle of open justice in that the order for anonymity of the Claimants made by Laing J was continued.
