Personal service of an injunction may be effected by handing documents to the defendant through an intermediary (such as a secretary) together with a written communication identifying the nature of the documents; oral communication is not required. A person may be found in contempt of an injunction even without knowledge of its precise terms, where they know an injunction has been granted against them and act recklessly as to whether their conduct breaches it. Procedural requirements in contempt proceedings, including the endorsement of a penal notice on the copy order, may be dispensed with where there is no prejudice to the contemnor and the furtherance of justice demands it.
