Terry (previously 'LNS') v Persons Unknown

Facts

On 22 January 2010 the Applicant, LNS, sought an interim injunction, without notice, seeking to restrain persons unknown from publishing "all or any part of the information or purported information" and documents in four categories: (1) the fact of a specified personal relationship between LNS and another named person ("the Relationship"); (2) details of that relationship including certain specific consequences of it; (3) information leading to the identification of LNS or the other person; and (4) any photographs evidencing or relating to the fact or details of these matters. The only evidence of a threat to publish was that relating to category (1). The remaining evidence of a threat was largely based on inference and was provided not by the Applicant or the other person but rather the Applicant's business partners. Part of the evidence also included an interview which LNS gave to a national newspaper in which statements were made about other relationships of his.
