Regina (Kay) v Commissioner of Police of the Metropolis
House of Lords
“Since a procession could be commonly or customarily held even though on each occasion it took a different route, a monthly mass cycle ride through London which set off from a fixed starting place but the route of which was determined by whoever happened to be at the front at any one time was such a procession so as to be excluded from the statutory requirement for organisers of public processions to give the police prior notice of the event.”

“Criminal suspects remain on bail for weeks or even months before being charged because of complex, inefficient and inconsistent charging practices, a new report today concludes. In one exceptional case, the time from arrest to charge was more than a year, at 369 days after arrest, although the average was 41.3 days, and suspects were regularly ‘rebailed’.”

“In 1900, the editor of the Birmingham Daily Argos was fined £100 by the Lord Chief Justice for describing Mr Justice Darling as an ‘impudent little man in horsehair’. The editor avoided a prison sentence for ‘personal scurrilous abuse of a judge’ only because of his abject apology. Today, we rightly take a more tolerant approach to criticism of the judiciary. But the critical comments by Paul Dacre, Editor of the Daily Mail, about the judgments of Mr Justice Eady in privacy cases raise important questions about how judges should respond.”

“When new laws to combat ageism came into force two years ago, employers predicted a wave of litigation and a bundle of new red tape. But as ministers prepare to bring in further changes to discrimination laws in the shape of a single Equality Bill expected in the Queen’s Speech next week, were those fears justified? How well are the new laws working?”
