Tooley v Associated Newspapers Ltd & Anor [2026] EWHC 683 (KB) (23 March 2026)
The High Court granted relief from sanctions to reinstate the Telegraph claim, but dismissed one Associated Newspapers claim as time-barred and refused injunction and source-disclosure relief.
The claimant failed to demonstrate a serious issue to be tried as the defendant was contractually entitled to close the accounts immediately due to suspicion of criminal or fraudulent activity, supported by a Suspicious Activity Report. The Equality Act claim is not within the High Court's jurisdiction and lacks merit. There is no evidence of misleading communication to Halifax Bank, and the claimant's concerns regarding access to DWP payments are unfounded as the payment was received and paid out.
Source excerpt
The defendant's acceptance of rent after arrears unequivocally constituted waiver of the right to forfeit the lease, rendering the forfeiture unlawful. The claimant was entitled to interim injunctive relief to regain possession, as the defendant raised no conceivable legal defence and damages were inadequate.

Hughes v Bellamy & Ors [2026] EWHC 237 (Ch) (15 January 2026)
The High Court granted a short interim injunction preserving the assets of two companies pending an Isle of Man unfair prejudice dispute.
The Defendant received confidential and privileged documents by obvious mistake in response to a DSAR; he knew the disclosure was erroneous and refused to return or delete the documents; mere possession constitutes breach of confidence; equitable relief is warranted to restore the Claimant's control over the documents and prevent misuse.

The High Court lifted the automatic suspension in a defence procurement challenge, finding damages inadequate for the claimant but the balance of convenience favoured implementation.
The balance of convenience overwhelmingly favours Aston Martin, as the harm from continued production stoppage and commercial consequences is far greater than any prejudice to IMR from being required to make the seven missed deliveries. Interim relief is necessary to preserve the status quo until a fuller hearing can be held.

Hattons of London Ltd v The Knightsbridge Collection Ltd & Ors [2025] EWHC 1993 (KB) (31 July 2025)
The High Court granted interim injunctions, affidavit evidence, and limited springboard relief in a confidential-information dispute, but refused an imaging order.
The claimants have demonstrated good reason for expedition as there is real urgency to resolve whether the defendant may work for a competitor post-garden leave, and expedition will not materially prejudice the defendant nor interfere with the administration of justice. Six months is sufficient for trial preparation, and the balance of justice favours an expedited trial.
