Timothy Robert Hull Pattinson v Robert Ian Winsor

Timothy Robert Hull Pattinson v Robert Ian Winsor

The interim injunction is continued because the defendant's allegations against the claimant are plainly false, unsupported by evidence, and amount to harassment. The claimant is likely to succeed at trial, damages are not an adequate remedy, and the balance of convenience favours continuation of the injunction, even considering the defendant's Article 10 rights.
