Ahead of the coming Ratcliffe Trial, I thought it helpful to remind all of the last Ratcliffe trial involving the defence of 'necessity' or 'duress of circumstances

The trial held at Nottingham Magistrates Court from 14 – 16th January 2008
11 defendants go on trial charged with 'aggravated trespass' an offence under section 69 of the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994. In that they trespassed and then disrupted people engaged in a lawful activity.
Judgement delivered on 25th February 2008.

These are my collected notes, assorted coverage and the judgement.
