Michael Batty received a suspended 28-day sentence for contempt of court at the High Court on 9 March 2015.

The sentence followed his apology for breaching an order preventing him from coming within 20 metres of water-meter installation works.

Mr Justice Paul Gilligan said Batty had given a solemn undertaking to comply with the court order dated 5 November 2014. The sentence was suspended for six months, and counsel for GMC Sierra accepted the undertaking.
