Cardiff University v Persons Unknown

The University has demonstrated a compelling need for protection of its property rights against repeated unlawful protest, trespass, and nuisance by persons unknown. The injunction is justified and proportionate under Articles 10 and 11 ECHR, given the availability of lawful protest mechanisms, the presumption in favour of consent under the Code, and the liberty to apply to vary or discharge. The terms, geographic scope (excluding the Music Building), and temporal limit (until 31 July 2026) are appropriate, and notification requirements have been satisfied.

Civil procedure

The Chancellor, Masters and Scholars of the University of Cambridge v Persons Unknown

The University is entitled to a final injunction against persons unknown for a year over three specified sites, as there is a real and imminent risk of trespass and nuisance, no realistic private law or human rights defence, and the injunction is necessary, proportionate, clear, and leaves ample opportunity for protest elsewhere. The procedural and substantive requirements for injunctions against persons unknown are satisfied.
