Please outline key points in prosecution and defense cases. |
CPS: the days of the Rebellion had different names and focus therefore it did not constitute a continuous protest. Defence: there was one continuous Rebellion with a series of protest events. AC Ralph was not the senior officer on site on 2nd September and therefore it was not lawful for her to extend the S14 notice. DDJ Price ruled that the events were separate and therefore S14 notice was lawful
