A security company had become insolvent. One shareholder, the claimant, re-established a business with a third party. His former co-shareholder then secured a consultancy agreement, assigning the benefit of that agreement to the defendant. The claimant now complained of harassment by the defendant. The defendant had an historic conviction for a serious offence, and was said to have used this to re-inforce his threats. The defendant denied the behaviour alleged.
Held: The defendant’s statements were consistent and credible. Not all those of the claimant were. The action failed, and the interim injunctions were set aside.
