In Mohammad v SSHD (2021) EWHC 240 (Admin) Chamberlain J stated principles in relation to mandatory injunctions against public authorities. They include :-

1. There is a distinction between procedural directions and mandatory injunctions;
2. An injunction made on paper and with no penal notice attached is binding;
3. It has to be complied with before the time stipulated unless it is set aside before that time;
4. A pending application to discharge or vary the order does not excuse a failure to comply;
5. An order may impose an obligation of result, not merely an obligation to make reasonable efforts to comply; and
6. Breach can result in proceedings for contempt.
