Judgement for the case Jordan v Burgoyne
Table Of Contents
Defendant read out a speech at a public meeting which deliberately insulted the crowd assembled, causing chaos and disorder.
He was charged with using words likely to cause disorder contrary to the public order act.
The divisional court judged his words by reference to the crowd as he found it and NOT a “reasonable crowd”.
