Hi there,
This may have been established before, but I can’t find any threads on it here on via a google search.
The CJA act, section 63, 64 states: This section applies to a gathering on land in the open air of 100 or more persons (whether or not trespassers) at which amplified music is played during the NIGHT (with or without intermissions)
I cannot find a clear legal definition of “night” or “night time”, but one government website vaguely states “‘Night’ is generally the period between 11.00 pm and 6.00 am.”
If this is a legitimate definition, do police have any power to close a free party in the day time, and more importantly, can they close a free party which has been going on during the night if the section is not issued before 6am?
Cheers
