Mace/Mace Plus LTD. have been building the new primate laboratory in Oxford, or so Speak, the campaign group fighting to stop the new lab from opening, believe is the likely case. Unfortunately an injunction was taken out against Speak from exercising free speech on this issue.
For now at least Speak can’t talk about this. I am not Speak! So, let’s talk about Mace/Mace Plus LTD. When the first lot of builders pulled out, it seemed that it put work to a grinding halt. Could the current lot pulling out prevent the oxford lab from even being built?
If they are the builders then we need to get into communication with the company and let them know that we are against their involvement.

Sample Letter
Dear Mace LTD,
If you are involved in the Oxford University Plans to build a primate laboratory, please end all involvement. What Oxford is planning to do is not something an ethical company would want to be involved with.
I am not advocating an end to medical research, all that I ask is that we use modern, ethical testing methods, which do not involve animals. If you have any questions about testing that does not involve animals, please let me know.
I look forward to your reply,

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 :

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 hold a reasonable belief that this injunction does not have any legal hold over me as I am simply acting as a member of the public.
