Given the potential worst case outcome for Roy and Rianne, I am glad that they were provided legal aid to obtain competent representation. The fact that both were found to be in contempt of court anyway demonstrates that this case was not frivolous or a SLAPP. They were instructed to cease defaming me - they chose not to.

As mentioned, multiple grounds for being held in contempt were not upheld due to the absence of an explicit deadline in the original order. This ended up being an interesting dispute on law and I am thankful for the efforts of my solicitors and barrister. While those grounds were not decided in my favour, the judgement does not support the behaviour of the defendents - see paragraph 50 of https://www.brettwilson.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Garrett-v-Schestowitz-and-anor-No-2-2026-EWHC-1948-KB.pdf
