- High Court
The Court held the Harassment Act restraining order was unnecessary and quashed because the conduct at issue was addressed by tailored HDCA orders; the HDCA takedown/prohibition was justified and confirmed in modified form after applying s19(5) factors (public interest, purpose, spread, truth, harm, defendant's conduct), finding the publications excessive, not in the public interest and likely to cause harm; consequential tailored prohibitions were imposed until 31 December 2020.
