HS2 seeks the biggest injunction ever in English law

Royal Court - The High Court on The Strand in London

HS2 Limited is going to court to ask for an injunction which could be the biggest in English legal history. The move directly responds to a catalogue of protest, incursion, trespass and disruption, which some auditors say has cost the company hundreds of millions of pounds. The company has been plagued by highly disruptive disputes and demonstrations, which have fuelled a campaign waged by protestors to discredit the project. It would seem the company has had enough and is resorting to the courts for a blanket order which will stop any further physical disruption before it even begins.
