Application for an injunction by the first claimant, Huntingdon Life Sciences Group PLC and Huntingdon Life Sciences Limited and their managing director, the second claimant, who seeks relief both on his own behalf and on behalf of employees of the first claimant.
The first defendants Stop Huntingdon Animal Cruelty are an organisation whose express purpose it is to close down the first claimant’s business. The claimants seek relief against them and all their members and all protestors conducting activities against the claimants. The second and tenth defendants are individuals who can be demonstrated to have played an active role in the activities of SHAC against HLS, and indeed between them have acquired a number of convictions in the criminal courts as a result of that activity. The eleventh and twelfth defendants are organisations sharing the aim of SHAC and on the claimant’s case working with them towards the achievement of that aim.
