Pierce Corbyn has another 'lockdown breach' charged by a trial judge.

A judge has charged anti-lockdown demonstrator Pierce Corbyn with violating a coronavirus ban.

District Judge Sam Guji said it was incorrect for Corbin, 30, to be charged with violating coronavirus rules on May 20 during a fair in Hyde Park, London, as he had already been issued a Fix-Penalty Notice (FPN). At the beginning of that day.

Defense Adviser Ben Cooper QC, citing a sub-clause of the coronavirus rules, said no action would be taken by the FPN for 28 days until action was taken against anyone who was released with the FPN.

A hearing in Westminster Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday found that Corbyn was released with FPN at 1 p.m., and was charged the following evening.

Prosecutors said the notice issued to Corbyn was not an FPN.

But the judge ruled otherwise, saying the defense had no case to answer in relation to that allegation.

Former Labor leader Jeremy Corbyn’s brother, Corbyn, said: “Thank you, your honor.”

Accused of solitary confinement of breach sanctions on him remains on trial, also related to a separate gathering at Hyde Park on May 16.

Mr Powell said officers had adopted a “light touch policing” approach, encouraging gatherings to “disperse without the need for enforcement action”.

Mr Powell told the court the protest was “peaceful and generally good humor”.
