Three judges, including a judge of the High Court, have obtained injunctions against a litigant who appeared before them in court in various proceedings. The litigant in person is said to have undertaken a campaign of harassment against each of them following what, he perceived to be, unfair treatment at their hands. The harassment was sometimes direct abuse shouted in the street, but mainly material published online highly critical of each of the judges.
Is this a first? I know that counsel and solicitors have occasionally required protection from unhappy litigants (usually on the other side, but sometimes their own former clients) but I cannot think of a precedent of judges seeking the protection of the courts following them exercising their judicial function.
