The consequences of breach of an undertaking (essentially an injunction by consent, which is stamped by the court) could be a prison sentence, same as in breach of an actual injunction.
The High Court has sentenced a contemnor who breached undertakings to the court in a privacy and harassment case to six months’ imprisonment. https://www.5rb.com/news/contemnor-in-privacy-and-harassment-case-sentenced-to-six-months/ 5RB’s @benfhamer, instructed by @brettwilsonllp, for the successful claimant.
