The High Court has issued two injunctions against Himley Environmental, which operates the landfill site next to The Crooked House at Himley, near Dudley, which was 'wrongfully' demolished last year following an arson attack.
Himley Environmental was previously run by 45-year-old Adam Taylor, who is now sole director of A T E Farms, which bought the 258-year-old pub shortly before it was set alight by arsonists.
The company demolished the gutted pub hours after the fire, without permission from the planning authority.
South Staffordshire Council ordered A T E Farms to rebuild the pub, but the company has appealed and is awaiting a hearing.
In the latest move, the High Court has issued two injunctions against Himley Environmental following an application by the Environment Agency over breaches of its licences.
