Description
An application to bring contempt proceedings against 7 individuals who it was claimed had given false information about car hire rates was granted.
The evidence against the respondents was ostensibly strong. There appeared to be a basis for saying that the respondents in their individual cases had the knowledge that there was a false picture being presented to the court. The problem was certainly significant, there being a large raft of cases. It would not be trivial if the matter were proved. This was systematic behaviour. The appellant was therefore given the permission sought. Honda Motor Co Ltd v Neesam [2008] EWCA Civ 1280, [2009] 1 W.L.R 2406 applied.
