An action against the defendant as chairman of the British National Party had been settled in January 2010 on the basis of an undertaking from him that the constitution of the Party would be amended to comply with the requirements of the 2006 Act. Though the defendant had issued an amendment, the Commission now complained that it had not been effective as an amendment.
Held: There were two possible interpretations of the order and it was wrong to seek committal where one such meaning might leave the defendant compliant. The case and been presented, argued, and settled on a narrower basis than that now sought to be used by the Commission. The application failed, though the court emphasisied that its decision was restricted to assessing compliance by the defendant with the order made, and not with the 2006 Act.
