A BARROW man who is banned from contacting any shipyard worker has had an application to revoke his restraining order refused.
Shaun Gordon Williams, of Aberdeen Street in Barrow, appeared at Furness Magistrates' Court yesterday.
The 42-year-old had applied to the court to revoke a restraining order issued on March 23 of 2015 which prohibits him from contacting anyone who works at the shipyard in Barrow.
The restraining order was imposed after Williams had been charged with harassment after allegedly sending a series of letters to Tony Johns, the then managing director of BAE Systems Submarines.
He was also accused of posting insulting and abusive posts about Mr Johns and other BAE directors on the Evening Mail’s website.
The matter was dealt with by way of a civil restraining order, without criminal charges.
The order means Williams is banned from contacting Mr Johns or any other BAE Systems employee in Barrow while they are at work by any means, banned from entering BAE premises in Barrow, and banned from posting insulting, threatening or abusive posts about Mr Johns or any other BAE Systems employee.
Magistrates yesterday refused the application to revoke the restraining order.
