Tommy Robinson is served contempt of courtroom discover through his X account

Tommy Robinson has been served with a second contempt of court notice through his X account after emails to the far-right activist went unanswered. 

The Attorney General’s office confirmed it had taken the highly unusual step to serve the notice to the English Defence League founder, 41, made on behalf of Solicitor General Sarah Sackman. 

The application was first lodged last Monday, with both applications set to be heard in the High Court on October 28.

It follows an earlier contempt application concerning other alleged breaches of the order, with a court hearing in London last month told that Robinson – whose real  name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon – had left the country. 

Law officers allege that the English Defence League founder breached an injunction barring him from repeating libellous allegations through six actions between June and July this year.

The order came after he lost a 2021 legal battle against a Syrian refugee who had sued him for libel.

Robinson was successfully sued by Jamal Hijazi over a video which circulated online in 2018 showing the schoolboy being assaulted by another pupil in a Huddersfield playground.

A second contempt of court application has been lodged against Tommy Robinson over alleged breaches of a High Court order from 2021, the Attorney General’s Office has said

Robinson was first served with contempt proceedings in June, with the Solicitor General telling a previous court hearing that he ‘knowingly’ breached the order by having ‘published, caused, authorised or procured’ a film titled Silenced in May last year.

It is also claimed Robinson repeated the allegations banned by the injunction in three interviews between February and June 2023.

Silenced was then shown again at a demonstration in Trafalgar Square in July this year, which is understood to be part of the alleged breach of the order under the second contempt application.

The day after the protest, Robinson was arrested for the ‘frustration’ of a port stop at the Channel Tunnel at Folkestone under Schedule 7 of the Terrorism Act 2000.

Adam Payter, representing the Solicitor General at the hearing in July, said that it was believed that following his release on unconditional bail, Robinson then left the country and that there ‘was nothing to prevent him from doing so’.

Mr Justice Johnson issued a warrant for Robinson’s arrest but ordered that it not be carried out ‘until early October’ to allow Robinson time to indicate that he would attend the next hearing voluntarily or to apply to ‘set aside’ the warrant.

Under the 2021 court order, Robinson was barred from repeating allegations he made against Mr Hijazi, a Syrian refugee.

Mr Hijazi successfully sued Robinson after the then-schoolboy was assaulted at Almondbury Community School in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire, in October 2018.

After a clip of the incident went viral, Robinson made false claims, including about Mr Hijazi attacking girls in his school, leading to the libel case.

Mr Justice Nicklin ordered Robinson to pay Mr Hijazi £100,000 in damages and his legal costs, as well as making the injunction preventing Robinson from repeating the allegations he made against the then-teenager.

Robinson fled the country last month after committing ‘flagrant’ contempt of court relating to a film played at a protest in central London , the High Court was previously told

Robinson’s arrest prompted flag-waving protesters to storm Downing Street demanding his release.

Chants of ‘release Tommy now’ and ‘we want Tommy out’ could be heard from protesters.

Robinson was previously jailed after being found in contempt of court after he filmed men accused of the sexual exploitation of young girls and live-streamed the footage on Facebook, in breach of a reporting ban, outside Leeds Crown Court in May 2018.

He was sentenced to 13 months in jail after being found in contempt of court on the day of the broadcast, but served just two months before being freed after that finding of contempt was overturned by the Court of Appeal in August 2018.

The case was then referred back to the Attorney General and he was jailed again in July 2019.
