Building work on Oxford University's new animal research laboratory started again in December 2005 after an 18 month halt to the project. Since December, there has been much speculation as to who the builders are. Now, for the first time, SPEAK are able to name the company that are behind the animal lab building project
SPEAK have been sent documents that prove that prior to Montpellier pulling out of building the animal lab in July 2004, Mace Ltd were part of the building project. It is our belief that they were acting as project managers for the construction project. Documents sent to SPEAK clearly illustrate this point.
To see a summary of our extensive research on Mace Ltd, please click on the link:

When building work restarted on the Oxford animal lab in December 2005, SPEAK were adamant that we would find which company was playing a key role in the building project. Despite an elaborate security operation run by ex Special Forces operatives we have found that company. Now we enter the next phase of the campaign! SPEAK will be using all the resources available to us in order to stop the lab from being built. We have maintained from the beginning of our campaign that we will fight Oxford University's plans to build a new animal torture centre every inch of the way and we will use all possible strategies within a legal framework to achieve our aims. Mace Ltd will now be included in that strategy.
We have found the builders, now we still have all to play for, game on! Now more than ever it's vital that you join us in Oxford on Saturday 21st October. If you were undecided about joining us before, the news that the builders have been found will hopefully mean that you will see that your support is vital if we are to stop Oxford University from torturing and killing more animals.
Whatever you were planning to do on Saturday 21st October, ask yourself, can I put it off until later. The animals destined to die inside the new lab need you in Oxford! Please try and attend
Together we can and together we will WIN.

Do us all a favour and take the place of the laboratory animals - at least you'd be doing something useful.

On 30 May 2006, the University of Oxford was granted an order in the High Court protecting members of the University; its employees, contractors and suppliers from harassment by those opposed to the new building. Please see link below for a sealed copy of the order of Mr Justice Holland. In the light of a publication on the SPEAK website identifying a contractor allegedly associated with the building, a further order was made last week (19 October 2006) by Mr Justice Gibbs (Please see link below for a sealed copy). The Order of Mr Justice Gibbs includes the following provisions :
"1. The First and Third Defendants, and all other persons acting as members, participants or supporters or in the name of the unincorporated association known as the SPEAK Campaign to prevent or obstruct the building of the Research Laboratory at the University be restrained from continuing to publish on the internet, by email or otherwise the name of or any information concerning the company asserted by SPEAK to be the contractor for the building of the research laboratory.
2. The First and Third Defendants do forthwith upon being notified of this order take all steps within their power to cause the name of or any information concerning the company asserted by SPEAK to be the contractor for the building of the research laboratory to be removed
from the website "www.speakcampaigns.org.uk" or any other website, including the Arkangel website."
You should be aware that any person or body on notice of the terms of an injunction may not do anything to undermine the effects of that injunction. Any publication of material providing information about this company in the context of allegations as to its association with Oxford clearly breaches the terms set out above and is unacceptable.
We bring to your attention the Penal Notice on the Order of Justice Gibbs. That Penal Notice is reproduced below :
PENAL NOTICE
IF YOU THE WITHIN NAMED DEFENDANTS DISOBEY THIS ORDER YOU MAY BE HELD TO BE IN CONTEMPT OF COURT AND MAY BE IMPRISONED OR FINED OR YOU MAY BE FOUND TO BE GUILTY OF A CRIMINAL OFFENCE FOR WHICH YOU MAY BE IMPRISONED OR FINED OR BOTH.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
IF YOU DO NOT OBEY THIS ORDER YOU WILL BE GUILTY OF CONTEMPT OF COURT AND YOU MAY BE FINED OR SENT TO PRISON OR MAY BE GUILTY OF A CRIMINAL OFFENCE FOR WHICH YOU MAY BE FINED OR SENT TO PRISON OR BOTH...

I am merely a member of the public that has recently been reading the national newspapers and have subsequently chosen to name the company involved in the building of the Oxford animal lab which has been named in national newspapers within the UK.
