Does the ‘angry crowd’ have any legal status?
Once they cease to be stationary, the protestors become a public procession ( see the trite definition of this in s.16 POA).
| Consider | (a) Is Max the organiser of the procession (see Flockhart v. Robinson [1950] 2 KB 498)? | |
| (b) if so, is he liable at this stage for an offence under s.11 POA? |
Identifying the crowd as a procession at this point is also relevant to discussion
under threads 5 and 6 below.
