Animal group wins test case

The UK's leading anti-vivisection group yesterday won a test case to prevent an animal laboratory firm using anti-stalking legislation to curb its protests.

The British Union for the Abolition of Vivisection (BUAV) had asked the High Court in London to remove its name from a restraining injunction served on it by Huntingdon Life Sciences (HLS), which has animal testing laboratories in Cambridgeshire, Suffolk and Cheshire.
