Committal for Contempt of Court

On 25 April 2023 District Judge Staves sitting in the County Court at Great Grimsby found that the respondent, Eliza Bates aka Elisha Bates, was in contempt of court in that she breached the injunction originally made on 14 July 2022 and amended on 30 August 2022.

The Court found that:

  1. She has trespassed onto the Claimant’s land and is occupying the same, in breach of paragraph 2 (a) of the injunction dated 30 August 2022
  2. She has failed to leave the Claimant’s land within 24 hours of being given notice by the Claimant to do so, in breach of paragraph 3 (a) of the injunction dated 30 August 2022.

On 20 June 2023 the court imposed a sentence that the respondent be committed for contempt to prison for a total period of 28 days. The order was suspended until 12 January 2024 and will not be put in force if during that time she complies with the terms of the injunction originally made on 14 July 2022 and amended on 30 August 2022
