Futures Housing Group v Kyle Bond

Facts

Futures Housing Group, a social landlord, obtained an anti-social behaviour injunction against Kyle Bond, granted on 24 November 2025 and made final on 16 December 2025. The background to the order was an extensive history of Mr Bond intimidating and abusing his neighbours, causing a nuisance by working on motorbikes and revving them excessively, threatening violence and otherwise preventing his neighbours from the peaceful enjoyment of their properties. The order, which carried a power of arrest, was served on him personally on 30 December 2025. He was subsequently arrested under that power and brought before the court together with a second defendant; as all the alleged breaches concerned him alone, she was released on attendance, while he was released on bail. He failed to answer bail on 3 July 2026, and although the bail was cancelled because the time limits had expired, HHJ Owen noted that the breach of the bail terms could be taken into account in relation to other matters in the proceedings. The landlord then pursued a contempt application in respect of breaches said to have occurred between 10 March 2026 and 12 June 2026. Mr Bond admitted four breaches, essentially of nuisance, and denied three alleged incidents of threatening and intimidating behaviour; the landlord agreed that he be sentenced on the admitted breaches alone.
