In a recent decision, the High Court rejected an application for an interim injunction restraining publication of a decision to impose sanctions on an accountancy firm. The court applied a high threshold test when considering the publication of the decision by a public body and concluded this case was not sufficiently "exceptional" to warrant an injunction: Taveta Investments Ltd (Claimant) v (1) Financial Reporting Council (2) Conduct Committee of the Financial Reporting Council (3) Executive Counsel of the Financial Reporting Council (Defendants) & (1) PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (2) Stephen John Denison [2018] EWHC 1662 (Admin).
