National Highways has brought contempt proceedings against protesters after they climbed gantries on the motorway last November.
Twelve Just Stop Oil protesters have appeared at the High Court accused of breaching an injunction aimed at restricting protest on the M25 and causing “the maximum disruption possible to the general public”.
The group of 12, Charlotte Kirin, 54; Daniel Johnson, 25; Gaie Delap, 76; Joseph Linhart, 22; Luke Elson, 30; Mair Bain, 36; Paul Bleach, 56; Paul Sousek, 72; Paul Bell, 23; Rosemary Jackson, 25; Theresa Higginson, 25; and Theresa Norton, 65, attended the hearing before Mr Justice Soole in the Royal Courts of Justice.
Videos of protest plans were shared with the police and National Highways – the Government-owned organisation responsible for England’s motorways and major A-roads – and the injunction was sought, the court was told. The barrister said the group of activists “chose to defy the order and impose their own views of what level of inconvenience and harm the public should have to put up with” and “broke the social contract under which in a democratic society the public can properly be expected to tolerate peaceful protest”.
