A warrant for the arrest and committal to prison remains in place for former show jumper James Buckley after he failed to present in person to the High Court this week over a court order to vacate Emerald Equestrian Centre.

Buckley, his wife Paula and their tenant Hazel Kiely had refused to vacate after the High Court ruled they had no legal right to remain at the property, and that to do so amounted to trespassing.
