The Case

Practice Injunction. In the instant case, an application by the Secretary of State to vary an injunction restraining the defendant newspaper company from publishing information relating to a parole board hearing would be allowed. The variation of the injunction enabling documents to be disclosed to a particular police force was for the purpose of police investigations and would not have damaged, but supported, the underlying injunction.
