Judgement for the case DPP v Knuller

Table Of Contents

  • A magazine published ads by homosexuals, asking other homosexuals to meet with them and have sex.

  • HL upheld publisher’s conviction for conspiracy to corrupt public morals since:

    1. The offence existed, and

    2. This case was comparable to Shaw, and

    3. Even if Shaw was wrongly decided, then it was for parliament to change the law.

  • However the HL allowed an appeal against the charge of “public outrage” since no such offence existed.
