Injunctions: Practical Guidance for Local Authorities and Public Bodies - Francis Taylor Building

Local authorities are increasingly required to use injunctions across a wide range of contexts from planning enforcement and anti‑social behaviour to protest activity and the management of public and open spaces. This session will provide clear, practical guidance on how and when injunctions can be deployed effectively.

The session will cover: 

• General powers of local authorities to seek injunctions
• Injunctions relating to anti‑social behaviour
• Protest injunctions
• Planning injunctions
• Public and open spaces
• Injunctions against Persons Unknown
