It's something I'm trying to explain sometimes while moderating: when discussing the rules, do not intentionally break them. It only makes things worse for you and your case.
But I guess someone just wanted to become a martyr.
The fact he got the restraining order in the first place id by far the worst issue. Someone's right to ignore such an order given in dodgy circumstances is a separate problem.
It's interesting to see how his appeal will go but usually in circumstances like this they almost always go in favour of whoever appeals.

The dispute began over his refusal to address a transitioning student as 'they' rather than 'he', as requested by the student and their parents in May, and agreed to by the Church of Ireland school.
This escalated to his suspension on the day before the start of the autumn term, pending the outcome of a disciplinary process.
He had refused to remain away from the school on paid leave for that suspension, the court heard, and would sit in an empty classroom, declaring that he was there to work.
You really find it "unreasonable restraining order" to be told not to go to work for not obeying your employer's guidelines?
