Cases

Georgallides v Etzin

Comment

The Judge made clear that the terms of the injunction should be narrow and clear which allowed a proper balance between the C's rights not to be harassed and D's right to freedom of expression. He also re-iterated that on an emergency injunction it was essential that all reasonable efforts were made to ensure that the D knew about the hearing; to ensure that the evidence and law that a D would reasonably rely upon was referred to; that the Judge should be reminded in terms of s.12 and any relevant articles of the ECHR and a full note should be made of the hearing and served on the D.
