    Each respondent, having been a party to the injunction and having remained in the area after repeated clear announcements and warnings in circumstances where their presence was calculated to and did delay or frustrate the bailiffs and police in executing the injunction, possessed the requisite mens rea and committed criminal contempt; clearance was not complete until the plaintiff's agents were satisfied and the mere removal of major obstructions did not absolve respondents of the obligation to leave.
