Debenhams workers are “very nervous” that the High Court may grant an injunction to liquidator KPMG in a bid to stop their blockade of the stores on Tuesday.

But even if the injunction is granted, which would legally prevent the former retail employees from stopping KPMG from removing stock from the 11 shuttered stores nationwide, the former staff are resolute that whatever the law is from Tuesday, they will not stand down.
