Abdullah Rashid Ahmed Almana Mansoori lost his application for an injunction in the High Court on 5 July 2019, seeking to stop falcon breeder Kenneth Smith supplying birds to others. The dispute concerned the alleged termination of a 2014 agreement for the sale and supply of falcons.

Mr Justice John Jordan refused the order, finding the case was not sufficiently strong and noting delay in bringing the proceedings. The judge also considered issues concerning payments, prize money, sales in the UAE and animal welfare, and awarded Mr Smith the costs of the injunction proceedings.
