Our Practice Areas
Injunctions
Viscaria has a team of barristers who specialise in applying for injunctions and resisting such applications.
These cases arise in many areas of work including in particular unlawful competition cases in employment and commercial contexts and media and information cases. Our employment work includes applications to enforce post-termination restraints and garden leave, springboard relief cases, injunctions to prevent team moves, restraining the use or disclosure of confidential information and to recover and prevent the use of confidential information.
Our broader commercial work includes applications for search and freezing orders, anti-suit injunctions and committal for contempt.
Our media and information injunction work includes both seeking and resisting applications for pre-publication injunctions in relation to the media, where, for example, the proposed publication is alleged to be in breach of an individual’s privacy rights or confidential. We have experience in both employment and media work of applying for injunctions under the Protection from Harassment Act and also in cases of threats of blackmail.
Viscaria has a dedicated injunctions hotline available 24 hours a day for any urgent requests: info@viscarialawfirm.com
