BOC LEGAL INJUNCTION - A LEGAL ANALYSIS BY FIRST YEAR LAW STUDENTS FROM A TRIBE CALLED SULK 02 JUNE 2004

PLEASE PRINT (11 PAGES)
YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN THIS WEB SITE WILL BE REMOVED.

FEEL FREE TO COPY AND DISTRIBUTE.

MIRROR SITES AND LINKS WELCOMED.

The BOC injunction was obtained on the 24 March 2004 and is available to view
in the links section.

Although at first glance one assumes it is the same as the draconian Japanese HLS customers injunction (see the links section), further analysis (by even first year law students like ourselves) reveals that it is different. Read on ...

1. Only 12 sites have injunctions protecting them (schedule 3 of the order).

THIS MEANS THAT 80 BOC SITES AROUND THE UK ARE NOT PROTECTED BY THE INJUNCTION.

For an example of a protest at a BOC site without an injunction see the links section...(Quote) "...four police cars came within the first hour but as this BOC outlet did not have an injunction order against protestors the cops soon left..."

...Well done BOC Legal...amazing present for all the peaceful protestors ! See below. We have listed out all the BOC sites in the UK..........

2. Even those sites that have exclusion zones are badly protected. Read on......

3. The exclusion zones are an arbitrary 100 yards around each of the twelve sites (See definitions section of the order paragraph 3). Has anyone actually measured this out? Hmmm......lets get the old playground yard stick out ....yes protestors, that means plenty of fun for everyone!!

4. Protestors can legitimately protest on the pavements leading up to the sites. A cursory analysis of the badly drawn and scruffy exclusion zones shows that some of the exclusion zones miss out important junctions that people who use the sites must travel past. Have a look for your self and get the old marker pen out. Why not start planning your perfect peaceful protest spot as soon as you've read this analysis.....

5. And it doesn't stop there......the 'Protected Persons' definition in section 5 is poor to say the least. None of the directors or employees homes are covered. Therefore you could theoretically want to go and have a peaceful protest at a BOC director's home and there is nothing in the injunction to stop you!! Once again thank you BOC Legal...Read on protestors its getting better...

6. The order states (in paragraph 6.1) that the second defendant (ALF) has to post a copy of the order on its website, www.alfsup.org.uk. Unfortunately for BOC no such web site exists. In fact the domain name is still for sale! Honest, We tell not a lie. Go to the links section if you don't believe us and check there.... Well done BOC legal, are you sure you didn't mean www.alfsg.org.uk??? If you ever want a lesson on how to use internet explorer why not go down to your local library and enrol on a course there...

7. In paragraph 7.1 the order says that the first defendant (SHAC) can be served a copy of the order by facsimile (that's a posh way of saying fax ) to 0845 458 0630...however this is a telephone number...dear oh dear BOC legal...did you not even bother to check by sending a test fax?

8. The very last page gives the name and address of BOC Legal Services. This means that they are what lawyers call 'on the record'...which means to ordinary people that they are responsible for this shoddy piece of legal work...How very embarrassing.

9. The conclusion is that the BOC injunction may be described as crap. We are all proud of you BOC Legal. You certainly had the protestors best interests in mind when you got this injunction.

10. So happy protesting...and remember to keep the protesting peaceful and within the law. We are lucky to have the Human Rights Act. Please don't abuse it!
