Of potential interest is the recent High Court upholding of the London Gypsies and Travellers group's challenge to a blanket Injunction obtained by the London Borough of Bromley.
“A high court judge has refused to grant a final injunction banning Travellers from stopping on vast swathes of public land, in a ruling that could have major implications on whether other local authorities are allowed such orders.
The London borough of Bromley obtained a de facto borough-wide injunction preventing people from camping on 171 parcels of land in August 2018. The campaign group London Gypsies and Travellers challenged this injunction, arguing it was a disproportionate and discriminatory response to the accommodation crisis of Gypsies and Travellers.”
On the information released, it might well have little or no application to the universal injunctions obtained by CaRT, but a sight of the judgment itself might possibly reveal more of the 'ratio' involved, and could have interesting implications.
