Johnson v Director of Public Prosecutions
Queen’s Bench Divisional Court
“Threatening, abusive or insulting words or behaviour accompanied by hostility, based partly on the victim’s presumed membership of a racial group, was a sufficient evidential basis for a charge of a racially aggravated offence, even if that hostility was also based partly on the victim’s duties as a parking attendant.”
