Question

What was the judgment of the Court of Appeal in Reading Festival Limited v West Yorkshire Police (the Mean Fiddler case)?

Answer


The Court held that the police may recover the cost of policing outside the event, provided that the policing had been at the request of the event organiser.  However, the organiser had made no explicit request in this case and none could be implied.
