1. MRS JUSTICE HEATHER WILLIAMS: This is the return date in relation to the interim injunction granted by Mrs\u00a0Justice\u00a0Collins\u00a0Rice on 20\u00a0February\u00a02026 following a\u00a0without notice hearing. The claim relates to a\u00a0ransomware incident in which the claimant's data appears to have been unlawfully exfiltrated by the defendant. The claimant was notified of the exfiltration by a ransom note received on 10\u00a0February\u00a02026. The claimant did not engage with the demand in the note and some information was released on the dark web on 16\u00a0February\u00a02026 as threatened. This included sensitive personal data. 2. Mrs\u00a0Justice\u00a0Collins\u00a0Rice made orders restricting the defendant from using, publishing, communicating, or disclosing the exfiltrated information and requiring the defendant to deliver up and\/or delete and\/or destroy the information in its possession, custody or control, and to provide a witness statement explaining this and giving details of any disclosure to third parties. The defendant was also ordered to provide their full names and address for service. 3. Mrs\u00a0Justice\u00a0Collins\u00a0Rice also granted anonymity to the claimant but required the claimant to serve evidence for the return date hearing if it sought the continuation of the grant of anonymity: "… setting out what has transpired between the date of this order and the return date to justify the continuation of the anonymity order and explaining what measures are being taken to protect the interests of individuals affected by this breach to enable the case, if appropriate, to be de-anonymised." 4. The defendant has not attended this hearing. At the outset, I\u00a0directed that the hearing could proceed in the defendant's absence and that I would provide my reasons for this in my judgment, as I\u00a0will come on to after I\u00a0have summarised the material events that have taken place since the previous hearing. It has been possible to hold the entirety of this hearing in public. 5. Mrs\u00a0Justice Collins Rice had before her the first witness statement of James Hyde, the partner with conduct of the case at Addleshaw Goddard LLP, the claimant's solicitors, dated 20\u00a0February\u00a02026. For the purposes of this hearing, Mr\u00a0Hyde has prepared a\u00a0second witness statement, dated 16\u00a0March\u00a02026. I\u00a0have read these statements and also the transcript of the previous hearing. Events since the hearing on 20\u00a0February\u00a02026 6. The claimant attempted to serve the order made by Mrs\u00a0Justice Collins Rice, the application notice and the claim form by the alternative method of service permitted by that order. This proved unsuccessful for reasons it is unnecessary for me to detail, but which are set out in the evidence I\u00a0have seen. The documents were then sent instead via an\u00a0available email address. This prompted a\u00a0reply from the recipient, stating that the claimant's response was too slow. This indicates that the email address in question was being monitored. 7. Apart from sending the message I\u00a0have just referred to, the defendant has not engaged with the claimant and has not complied with the injunction orders. 8. Particulars of Claim were sent to the defendant via the email address I\u00a0have referred to on 16\u00a0March\u00a02026. On the same date, an\u00a0application notice for this hearing was issued. This was less than three clear days in advance of the hearing. The application notice sought the following: (1) time for service of the application to be abridged; (2) an\u00a0extension of the interim prohibitory injunction; (3) directions; (4) a\u00a0continuation of the derogations from open justice, including in relation to anonymity; and (5) an\u00a0order for retrospective permission for alternative service by a different method to that set out in the 20\u00a0February\u00a02026 order. Proceeding in the defendant's absence 9. The court has a\u00a0discretion to proceed in the absence of a\u00a0defendant, see CPR 23.11. I\u00a0have also had regard to section\u00a012(2) of the Human\u00a0Rights\u00a0Act, although it is debatable that that section is engaged in the present kind of circumstances. 10. I\u00a0am satisfied that the tests are met and that it is appropriate to proceed. I\u00a0am satisfied that the 20\u00a0February\u00a02026 order was received by the defendant by the means I\u00a0have referred to. It therefore follows that the defendant was aware of this hearing. 11. There is every indication that the defendant's non-involvement is deliberate. It is in keeping with the conduct which prompted this claim to be made. I\u00a0also bear in mind that the defendant's position is protected by the provision in the order I\u00a0will make that allows it to seek a\u00a0discharge or variation of this order. Service 12. As I\u00a0have indicated, the claimant seeks an\u00a0order retrospectively validating service that has taken place, and permitting the same method of alternative service going forward. 13. Alternative service may be permitted pursuant to CPR 6.15 read with CPR\u00a06.27. CPR 6.15(2) reads: "On an\u00a0application under this rule, the court may order that steps already taken to bring the claim form to the attention of the defendant by an alternative method or at an\u00a0alternative place is good service." 14. I\u00a0am satisfied that this is an\u00a0appropriate course to take in the circumstances. There is good reason to make the order sought, given the claimant has tried to serve the defendant via the method directed in the 20\u00a0February\u00a02026 order but was unable to do so for matters beyond the claimant's control. Further, given that a\u00a0response was received from the email address I\u00a0have referred to, I\u00a0am satisfied that service by this method meant that the documents are likely to have come to the defendant's attention and are also likely to do so if this method is used in the future. 15. Retrospective alternative service was ordered by Mrs\u00a0Justice\u00a0Hill in a\u00a0similar ransomware case, University and College Union v Persons Unknown [2024] EWHC 2998 KB. 16. I\u00a0have suggested a\u00a0minor amendment to the draft order covering this aspect, in order to clarify the documents which are covered by this direction for alternative service and Mr Speker KC accepts this is appropriate. 17. As I\u00a0have indicated, the claimant also seeks an\u00a0order pursuant to CPR 23.7(4) abridging time for service of the application notice issued on 16\u00a0March\u00a02026. I\u00a0accept the explanation provided in Mr\u00a0Hyde's second witness statement, and I\u00a0am willing to grant the order sought in this respect. No prejudice is caused to the defendant given it has not engaged with the proceedings at all, and has failed to comply with the mandatory injunctions made at the previous hearing. Continuing the interim injunction 18. The claimant's draft order sets out standard terms for the interim injunction sought at this stage, restraining the defendant from using, publishing, communicating or disclosing the claimant's confidential information or making it available to be accessed. The claimant's claim as set out in the claim form and the particulars of claim is for breach of confidence. I\u00a0am satisfied from the material provided that the claimant has a\u00a0strong case for showing that the defendant came into possession of confidential information held by the claimant through the defendant's unlawful actions and for the purposes of commercial gain. 19. The claimant's confidential information remains in the possession of the defendant, who should not have it and who knows it should not have it, who has not returned it, and has sought to make aspects of it available on the dark web and not removed it, even though it has been served with a\u00a0court order. Additionally, the defendant has not complied with the mandatory order to deliver up the material. 20. In the circumstances, the test for the grant of interim relief identified in American Cyanamid v Ethicon [1975] AC 396 is clearly met. The claimant has shown there is a\u00a0serious issue to be tried, damages would be an\u00a0inadequate remedy, and the balance of convenience plainly lies in the claimant's favour. 21. I\u00a0am satisfied that the continuation of the interim junction is necessary and justified. If section\u00a012(3) of the Human\u00a0Rights\u00a0Act applies, I\u00a0am also satisfied the claimant is likely to establish its case at trial. Directions 22. There are statements made in various cases involving Persons Unknown requiring claimants to bring such actions to a\u00a0conclusion, see for example Brett Wilson LLP v Persons Unknown [2016] 4 WLR 69 at paragraph\u00a011. 23. The claimant has proposed directions at paragraphs\u00a05 – 8 of the draft order designed to conclude the claim. These directions provide for the filing and service of the Defence and Reply. If the defendant does not serve a\u00a0Defence, the claimant is required to take such steps as it is advised to conclude the action, including but not limited to applying for default and\/or summary judgment by the same date as any Reply would be due. There is also provision made for the steps that the claimant must take if it wishes to obtain wider injunctive relief having effect against any non-party served with the order. 24. I\u00a0am satisfied that this part of the draft order meets the requirement for the claimant to take appropriate steps to bring the action is to a\u00a0conclusion, and therefore I\u00a0am willing to grant directions in these terms. Derogations from open justice 25. Two derogations are sought: first, restrictions on access to documents to the defendant and to third parties. This only relates to confidential schedules and exhibits and confidential witness statements, and I\u00a0accept such restrictions are appropriate in a\u00a0case of this kind. As regards the defendant, these restrictions only apply until the defendant provides a\u00a0name and address for service, and I\u00a0am satisfied this is an\u00a0appropriate order to make in the circumstances. An\u00a0equivalent order was made in the ransomware case of Armstrong Watson LLP v Persons Unknown (no 1) [2023] EWHC 762 KB at paragraph\u00a054. 26. Secondly, the claimant seeks continued anonymity for the claimant. At the hearing before Mrs\u00a0Justice\u00a0Collins\u00a0Rice, the claimant applied for anonymity for the reasons set out at paragraphs\u00a037 – 39 of Mr\u00a0Hyde's first witness statement. I have already referred to the terms of paragraph 15 of the order made by Mrs\u00a0Justice\u00a0Collins\u00a0Rice. Mr\u00a0Hyde's second witness statement addresses anonymity at paragraphs\u00a013 – 36. 27. I will summarise the points he makes. First, he describes the extensive efforts made so far to identify the exfiltrated data and the difficulties that have been encountered in doing so. Secondly, he explains that the defendant remains in possession of the exfiltrated data and it is not known, as yet, whether or not it has all been published or just a\u00a0proportion of it. Thirdly, he explains the data is likely to include special category data or sensitive information relating to individuals, including references to passports, health conditions, religion, dates of birth, bank account numbers and passwords. Fourthly, he explains why it has not been possible to identify and therefore warn all those who are potentially affected. Fifthly, there is no guarantee the defendant will not strike again, since it has shown an\u00a0unwillingness to comply with the court orders. Sixthly, he expresses the concern that identifying the claimant will pose a\u00a0very real risk that individuals will then search for the information stolen and this in turn is likely to encourage the defendant to publish more of the exfiltrated material, with the potential consequential impacts on the data subjects, including distress and reputational damage. Seventhly, he also expresses the concern that identifying the claimant could encourage other malicious actors to target the claimant or other individuals whose data has been compromised. 28. I\u00a0remind myself of the relevant principles. The Practice Guidance on Interim Non-Disclosure Orders at paragraphs\u00a09 – 15 confirms that open justice principles apply in this context. Derogations can only be justified in exceptional circumstances when they are strictly necessary as measures to secure the proper administration of justice. Where justified, they should be no more than strictly necessary to achieve their purpose. The courts should carefully scrutinise any application for such derogations, JIH v News Group Newspapers [2011] 1 WLR 1645 at paragraphs\u00a019 – 25. It is well established by the case law that the names of parties to litigation are important matters that should usually be available to the public. 29. The court has an\u00a0inherent common law power, reflected in CPR 39.2, to derogate from the principles of open justice in civil proceedings by making anonymity orders where it is strictly necessary in the interests of justice; see PMC v Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board [2025] EWCA Civ 1126, [2025] 3 WLR 887 at paragraphs\u00a085 and 101, and JIH v News Group Newspapers at paragraphs\u00a019 – 25. 30. At paragraph 108 in the PMC case, the Master of the Rolls observed that in A v British Broadcasting Corpn [2014] UKSC 25, [2015] AC 588, Lord Reed had made the following important points: "(i) First, the interests of justice are not confined to the court's reaching a just decision on the issue in dispute between the parties. (ii) Secondly, the administration of justice is a continuing process. (iii) Thirdly, the court can, therefore, take steps in current proceedings in order to ensure that the interests of justice will not be defeated in the future. (iv) Fourthly, anonymity may be necessary in view of the risks posed in the circumstances of the case. Those identified in the case law to date include: (i) risks to the safety of a party or a witness, (ii) risks to the health of a vulnerable person, and (iii) risks of a person suffering commercial ruin. AOs may also be made to protect a party to proceedings from the painful and humiliating disclosure of personal information about them where there was no public interest in its being publicised. Not all categories can be envisaged in advance. (v) Fifthly, the application of the principle of open justice may change in response to changes in society and in the administration of justice. (vi) Sixthly, the court has to carry out a fact-specific balancing exercise. Central to the court's evaluation will be the purpose of the open justice principle, the potential value of the information in question in advancing that purpose and, conversely, any risk of harm which its disclosure may cause to the maintenance of an effective judicial process or to the legitimate interests of others." 31. In ZAM v CFW [2013] EWHC 662 QB, [2013] EMLR 27, Tugendhat J said at paragraph\u00a044: "The court must adapt its procedures to ensure that it does not provide encouragement or assistance to blackmailers and does not deter victims of blackmail from seeking justice from the courts." 32. As Mr\u00a0Speker points out, anonymity has been granted to corporate claimants who have been victims of blackmail or possible attempts following hacking incidents for a\u00a0variety of reasons, and he cited the following examples: (i) PML v Persons Unknown [2018] EWHC 838 QB, where at paragraph\u00a015, Nicklin J endorsed the reasoning of Bryan J who had heard the earlier without notice injunction application (summarised at paragraph\u00a05). (ii) AA v Persons Unknown, Re Bitcoin [2019] EWHC 3556 (Comm), Bryan J; (iii) XXX v Persons Unknown [2022] EWHC 2776 KB, Cavanagh J; and (iv) HCE v UEH [2026] EWHC 33 KB, where Sheldon J said at paragraph\u00a04: "I\u00a0granted anonymity because although this constitutes a\u00a0derogation from the open justice principle, in a\u00a0number of judgments of this court, it has been recognised that there is a\u00a0legal policy to protect the identity of victims of blackmail attempts, including corporate victims." He then went referred to Nicklin J's judgment in PML. 33. In XXX, anonymity was granted to the claimant at the interim injunction stage, and when hearing the claimant's application for summary judgment, Cavanagh J decided to continue the grant of anonymity. Having reviewed the authorities, he summarised the position as follows at paragraph\u00a024: "As the guidance makes clear, anonymity will only be granted where it is strictly necessary and then only to that extent. It is an\u00a0exceptional course of action. The burden of establishing any derogation from the general principle lies on the person seeking it. It must be established by clear and cogent evidence. The application must be closely scrutinised and the court must consider whether the interests of the party applying for it can be met by a less drastic order. It is not sufficient to justify an\u00a0order which restricts open justice that the party seeking it is concerned about the embarrassment, inconvenience, and potential adverse financial consequences which may flow from being involved in litigation." 34. In deciding to extend the grant of anonymity, Cavanagh J noted that the mere fact that a\u00a0business would be likely to suffer negative commercial and\/or reputational consequences were the attack to became public knowledge, was not automatically a\u00a0sufficient reason to make an\u00a0anonymity order. He said that there must be something in particular which justifies anonymity or any other derogation from the principle of open justice (see paragraph 26). The justification in that case lay in the nature of the security-sensitive work undertaken by the claimant, coupled with the concern that if the identity of the claimant was disclosed, it would prompt third parties with malign intent to seek to make contact with the blackmailers or to try to seek out the stolen information on the dark web themselves (paragraph\u00a028). Thus, identifying the claimant would advance the objective of the defendant (paragraph\u00a029). 35. There are some, although not exact, parallels with the present case. The main difference being the officially sensitive nature of the information in that instance. There are also parallels with the other cases I\u00a0have referred to that Mr Speker cited. 36. Mr\u00a0Speker also very properly drew my attention to R v Nigel Wright (Ruling on Anonymity) [2020] EW Misc 22 as an\u00a0case where anonymity was not granted to a\u00a0corporate victim of blackmail. 37. In that case, the allegations of blackmail were that on three occasions, the defendant made written demands for money to a\u00a0major supermarket chain, accompanied by a claim that contaminated food had been placed in stores; and threats that if the money was not paid, the locations would be kept secret or further contaminated goods be placed in stores, or both. Warby J, as he then was, declined to order anonymity for the supermarket chain or reporting restrictions at Wright's criminal trial on the basis that this was not a\u00a0"classic" case of blackmail in which the victim is an\u00a0individual and is being blackmailed on the basis that she or he "has something to hide", so it did not engage the same policy considerations as blackmail involving a threat to disclosure wrongdoing or embarrassing facts of a\u00a0personal and private nature in respect of natural persons. He also noted that the complainant was not an\u00a0individual with Article\u00a08 ECHR rights and that nobody had suggested the complainant had done anything disreputable or discreditable or had anything to hide. The threat was to disclose the fact that the complainant had been the target and victim of criminal acts and might be the target and victim of further such acts. Warby J was not persuaded that the administration of justice required anonymity in cases of that kind. See in particular paragraphs\u00a043 to 46 of his judgment. 38. However, Warby J accepted at paragraph\u00a043 that there may be cases involving corporate blackmail where the interests of justice do require the grant of anonymity. I\u00a0accept Mr\u00a0Speker's submissions that the present case is very different. In Wright, the events were historic, the underlying material was not sensitive as is the position here, and individuals were not affected in that case in contrast to the likely position in the present case. It is right I\u00a0take account of the Article\u00a08 rights of those individuals here, as, for example, Sheldon J did in HCE v UEH. 39. In all the circumstances and in light of the particular considerations identified by Mr\u00a0Hyde which I\u00a0have summarised, I\u00a0am satisfied that it is necessary in this case to order the continuing anonymity of the claimant to protect individual third parties and so as to ensure that blackmail is not encouraged or rewarded. Similarly, I\u00a0am satisfied that the proposed intrusion upon open justice is no more than is necessary in the circumstances. 40. I\u00a0have indicated to Mr\u00a0Speker that an\u00a0addition should be made to the draft order to spell out that the withholding of the claimant's identity will continue. 41. The other terms of the draft order are in standard form and it is unnecessary for me to go through it them in this judgment. 42. I\u00a0will make an order in the terms sought, subject to the tweaks and additions I\u00a0have discussed with Mr\u00a0Speker during the course of this hearing. 43. Thank you very much.
