How does a court injunction work?

No, not me - infact it seems I'm one of the few people that go to Harlow that probably aren't affected!

Could someone explain:
The process used to acquire one.
Can we easily find out who signed it off?
If it is acceptable to break an injunction because someone in the council said it was ok?
If that holds any legal standing?

My take is that there is a Crown Court form that would be completed.

Would expect the details contained therein (requester, approver etc) to remain private.

It is the crown that agrees/applies it so it'd the crown who would decide who can and cannot abide by it - not a council appointed official. It would be akin to "Geoff down the Council Office said it'd be ok if I did 150mph on the M25."

Ta for the thoughts.

Another rather important question is; who can request someone who has transgressed an injunction be prosecuted?

Like any law, bring it to the attention of the police. They decide if warrants charging / referring case to CPS to be brought before a High Court judge.

Many laws you can also bring a private prosecution I believe, which is one aspect I was wondering if you were not one of the original parties.

In typical injunctions, I believe the entity that took the injunction out can then get the other one 'done' for failing to abide by it, but I don't know how it works for third parties.
