Dealing with injunctions – a protesters’ guide

Injunctions are basically a way that companies can buy themselves personalised laws. As such they are complicated and vary quite widely. Not1More has produced an excellent guide to help you understand and navigate injunctions.

View the Protest Injunctions Toolkit here!

You can find out more about this work and download a version of the guide to print at home on Not1More’s website.

If you’ve received or otherwise been affected by an injunction, here are 3 things you should do:

  • Don’t talk about it publicly until you’ve received advice.
  • Read the guide linked above!
  • Ring us as soon as possible so we can help you go through the details and plan the best course of action.
