Abstract
The May Day Protests in London in 2001 presented a serious risk of public disorder, and led to the case of Austin and Saxby v. The Commission of Police of the Metropolis. In that case the liberty of citizens had been interfered with, although this could be justified due to either the police power to prevent a breach of the peace, the defense of necessity, or the Public Order Act 1986. The first of these justifications was relied on and led to the conclusion that the police acted appropriately, even though they could not have known specifically that the appellants would cause a breach of the peace.Abstract by Rose Goss.
