It emerged following the conviction and subsequent sentencing of Brand that he had secured an injunction in 2015 against an unrepresented woman who had accused him of assaulting her. According to documents published by lawyer and campaigner Dan Neidle, the woman was made subject to the lifelong injunction by the High Court without any substantive trial. She was also ordered to pay £50,000 to cover Brand’s costs following a summary judgment by Mr Justice Jay.
The injunction prevented the woman from disclosing ‘any information’ about the alleged assault to anyone except her legal advisers or medical professionals. The order, which was drafted by lawyers representing Brand and his then partner Jemima Goldsmith, did not allow the woman to tell the police about her allegations.

Meanwhile, following a lengthy legal case, the Guardian yesterday named author and comedian Walliams in connection with a series of allegations of sexual misconduct. Walliams denies all the allegations.
The report stated that Jenny Afia, a partner with defamation firm Schillings, had written to a woman then aged 19 who had talked with friends about an encounter with Walliams.
The letter stated: ‘You are at a significant risk of committing a serious civil offence should you disclose, to the press or any other third party, private information or purported private information concerning our client.’
