Prior authority for contempt and breaches of part 1 injunctions
The Magistrates Billing team will now consider prior authority requests in contempt and breach of anti-social behaviour injunction cases.
Further to the news story on Monday 3 February, we are a moving the consideration of prior authority requests in contempt and breach of anti-social behaviour injunction cases.
The new email address to send requests for prior authority in contempt and breach of part 1 injunction cases is CNTP.extensions@justice.gov.uk, the same as for cost increases for contempt.
An amendment has been made to the published guidance.
