THE HONOURABLE MR JUSTICE NICKLIN Approved Judgment
MBR Acres Ltd -v- Free the MBR Beagles
Dear oh dear [name], some pretty damning comments about your lack of morals (professional and personal) and some that we can’t actually even repeat.” (9) On 13 August 2022, Camp Beagle posted a message on their Facebook page stating that the Third and Twentieth Defendants had been arrested (it appears four days earlier) “ for allegations against MBR and Impex ”. The Claimants have not provided any evidence shedding any further light on why they have been arrested. (10) On 18 August 2022, the Twentieth Defendant is alleged to have posted on her Facebook page: “Anyone that can, please get to Sequani, Labcorp etc. Impex have taken three vans from MBR. People are needed in case the vans go there. These MUST be stopped. We cannot allow [the Managing Director] to start operating freely again.” Later, on 18 August 2022, a group called “ Exposing Cruelty ” is alleged to have posted on its Facebook page a video of protestors obstructing an Impex van as it attempted to enter the Sequani site. It is alleged that the Fourteenth Defendant can be heard on the video shouting, “ No! No! I will not move! I will not move! Disgusting! Disgusting! ”. Ms Pressick adds that she has recently seen on social media that Sequani was also targeted by protestors after a delivery from the Wyton Site had been made during the week commencing 12 September 2022. Ms Pressick states that this “ demonstrates how the protesters are targeting MBR’s third party suppliers, including Impex, well beyond the Wyton Site ”. (11) On 25 August 2022, the Twelfth Defendant is alleged to have Tweeted: “Really feel we need to focus our attention on Impex (Scumpex) as they are the link to MBR that can fk things up for them if we get rid of Impex as there are not many couriers in the uk that deliver animals to the Labs. We need more activities to get down to Scumpex… Come on fellow activists we can close this scumback (sic) [name] down I believe but needs more people that just a few. Been said if they cant get the dogs out then MBR will have to close what are we waiting for?” And the following day, “Q What does MBR, Labcorp, Charles River, Sequani have in common? A Impex.” (12) On 19 September 2022, TCM.Digital is alleged to have shared two videos on TikTok. The first shows the police telling protestors outside Impex’s Managing Director’s home to move on otherwise they would be arrested. One of the protestors, whom Ms Pressick cannot identify, is shown holding a sign calling the Managing Director an “ animal abuser ”. The second shows an unidentified woman with purple hair being arrested by police, allegedly for having failed to leave, as directed by police, and for refusing to give her personal details.
