Morrisons has taken a significant step by obtaining an injunction against farmers due to 'unlawful protests' which the company claims present a 'serious threat' to retail operations. While they express support for the farmers' fight against the government regarding inheritance tax, Morrisons emphasizes the necessity of protecting business continuity in light of recent disruptions. The injunction forbids obstruction of delivery routes and access to certain lands used by the supermarket, emphasizing their commitment to maintain operational integrity.
A statement from Morrisons reflects their difficult position: 'Given the protests experienced recently and the serious threat of immediate further action, we've had to take the difficult decision to seek a High Court injunction to restrain unlawful protest action aimed at preventing us from operating from our sites referenced in the Injunction Order.' This indicates the challenges businesses face when external protests threaten their operational stability.
