Tommy Robinson was served with a second contempt notice via his X-Account after emails to the far-right activist went unanswered.
The Attorney General’s Office confirmed it had taken the highly unusual step of serving the notice on the 41-year-old founder of the English Defence League on behalf of Solicitor General Sarah Sackman.
The motion was first filed last Monday; the Supreme Court hearing on both motions is scheduled for October 28.
This followed an earlier contempt of court action relating to other alleged breaches of the order. A court hearing in London last month was told that Robinson – whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon – had left the country.
Judicial officials claim the founder of the English Defence League breached an injunction preventing him from repeating defamatory allegations in six trials between June and July this year.
The order came after he lost a legal battle in 2021 against a Syrian refugee who sued him for defamation.
Jamal Hijazi successfully sued Robinson over a video shared online in 2018 showing the student being attacked by another student on a playground in Huddersfield.
A second contempt of court application has been filed against Tommy Robinson for alleged breaches of a 2021 High Court order, the Attorney General’s Office said
Robinson was first found in contempt of court in June. The Solicitor General had said in an earlier court hearing that he had “knowingly” breached the order by “publishing, causing, authorising or procuring” a film called “Silenced” in May last year.
It also alleges that Robinson repeated the allegations prohibited by the restraining order in three interviews between February and June 2023.
“Silenced” was then shown again at a demonstration in Trafalgar Square in July this year, which is understood to be part of the alleged breach of the order in the second contempt of court application.
One day after the protest, Robinson was arrested under Schedule 7 of the Terrorism Act 2000 for “obstructing” a port stop at the Eurotunnel in Folkestone.
Adam Payter, representing the Solicitor General at the July hearing, said it was believed Robinson had left the country after being released on unconditional bail and that “there was nothing to prevent him from doing so”.
Judge Johnson issued a warrant for Robinson’s arrest, but ordered that it not be executed until “early October” to give Robinson time to either indicate that he would voluntarily appear at the next hearing or to file a motion to “quash” the warrant.
The 2021 court order barred Robinson from repeating the allegations made against Mr. Hijazi, a Syrian refugee.
Mr Hijazi successfully sued Robinson after the then pupil was attacked at Almondbury Community School in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire, in October 2018.
After a clip of the incident circulated online, Robinson made false claims, including that Mr Hijazi had attacked girls at his school, leading to the defamation suit.
Judge Nicklin ordered Robinson to pay Mr Hijazi £100,000 in damages and his legal costs, and granted an injunction preventing Robinson from repeating the allegations he made against the then teenager.
Robinson fled the country last month after being found guilty of “flagrant” contempt of court in connection with a film shown at a protest rally in central London, the High Court was previously told.

Thousands of people demonstrated in central London on July 27 against immigration and in support of Robinson.
A day after his arrest, protesters outside Downing Street chanted “Release Tommy now” and “We want Tommy out”.
Robinson’s arrest prompted flag-waving protesters to storm Downing Street and demand his release.
The demonstrators shouted slogans such as “Release Tommy immediately!” and “We want Tommy out!”
Robinson was previously jailed after being found guilty of contempt of court after filming men accused of sexually exploiting young girls at Leeds Crown Court in May 2018 and streaming the footage live on Facebook, in breach of a reporting ban.
He was sentenced to 13 months in prison after being found guilty of contempt of court on the day of the broadcast, but only served two months of the sentence before being released in August 2018 after the Court of Appeal overturned the contempt of court finding.
The case was then referred back to the Attorney General and he was re-arrested in July 2019.
