A student falsely accused of taxi fare evasion in an internet video is to seek High Court permission to bring a contempt of court action against YouTube after, it was alleged, the clip was put up again on the web.

The 22-year-old student previously obtained injunctions against YouTube, Google, Facebook and a number of other sites and user names to prevent republication of a video that shows a number of young people leaving a taxi without paying the fare.
