‘On an application made without notice to the defendant on 16 September 2004, Mr Justice Simon granted an order restraining the defendant (a) pursuant to the Protection of Harassment Act 1997 from acting in relation to the claimants in a number of respects and (b) from acting in breach of certain post termination covenants in his contract of employment with the first claimant.
The original order was continued with some variations by further orders and a speedy trial was ordered to take place. The trial took place between 11 and 14 April 2005 and requires the determination of the issue whether the interim orders given in the action were correctly made and in particular whether (a) the restraints pursuant to the Prevention of Harassment Act 1997 should be continued with liberty to apply, and (b) whether the restraints, imposed in respect of the post-determination restrictive covenants in his employment contract, were correctly made.’
