Homelessness and Ex Parte Injunctions - a warning

Mr Justice Munby has issued a stern statement on the use and abuse of ex-parte injunction applications to the Administrative Court in R (Lawer) v Restormel Borough Council [2007] EWHC 2299 (Admin).

Covering failure to use the Pre-Action Protocol, non-disclosure of material evidence, unexplained delay and requests for unreasonable periods of notice for application for discharge (48 hours, in this case) in draft Orders, the Judgment marks the Admin Court getting distinctly annoyed at what are scathingly described as ‘prevailing professional approaches’ in both the Family and Administrative Courts.
