In re Liddell’s Settlement Trusts: CA 1936

The Court upheld an injunction issued against Mrs Liddell who was not a party to the proceedings and who had taken her children to the United States. When granting an injunction, the court should operate on the basis that it will be obeyed, and not anticipating its breach. The fact that an injunction may not be enforceable is not a conclusive reason against its grant. In re Aktiebolaget Robertsfors did not apply since she was ordinarily domiciled in the jurisdiction.
