Edo Technology Ltd ("Edo") & Anor v Campaign To Smash Edo & Ors

(1) A road block on 20 May 2004 ("the May 2004 Roadblock"), preventing access to the Property. Protestors were chained to a cage and refused to move from 7.30 a.m. until midday. The claimants relied upon convictions of the 3 rd to 8 th defendants for offences connected with this incident by Brighton Magistrates Court on 14 December 2004.

(2) The second event occurred on the same day, when the roof of the Property was occupied for 23 hours ("the May 2004 Trespass"). The claimants relied upon the conviction of the 9 th to 13 th Defendants for offences of aggravated trespass by Brighton Magistrates Court on 28 January 2005.

(3) The third event was a trespass on the Property on 2 September 2004 ("the September 2004 Trespass"), involving a "sit in" by the 14 th , 15 th and 16 th defendants, forming part of a "non-violent direct action day" organised by the 1 st and 2 nd defendants (whom I shall refer to as "Smash EDO" and "BOOB"). This incident was relied upon despite the subsequent acquittal of those defendants by Brighton Magistrate Court on charges of aggravated trespass.

(1) a printout for the 4 th defendant recording his conviction by Solihull Magistrates on 17 January 2005 for criminal damage on 25 June 2004. This was an incident at premises conducting business for Caterpillar Inc, but this fact was not expressly stated in the printout.

(2) a printout for the 5 th defendant recording that he had been remanded on bail on 12 November, 2 December and 9 December 2004 in relation to an impending prosecution for aggravated trespass on 11 November 2004. The grant of bail was conditional upon not entering or going within 500 yards of Agrexco Limited, Carmel House, Swallowfield Way, Hayes.
