INTRODUCTION
(1) The Appellant is appealing against a decision made by the district judge at Highbury
Corner Magistrates’ Court on 4 August 2015 pursuant to S.1 of the Crime and Disorder Act
1998 (“the 1998 Act”) to make him subject to an anti-social behaviour order (ASBO) to last
for 5 years.
(2) The facts relied upon by the Respondent are set out in the bundle of evidence placed
before the court and, in particular, the witness statements of the Respondent’s officers [R.14-
35]. The Appellant has also provided a bundle for this appeal hearing [A],

(3) The Respondent’s case is that the Appellant has been integrally involved in the
organisation of raves in London, particularly Enfield, and/or the supply of sound equipment
to those raves. The Respondent relies on each incident set out in the application notice to
support his case [Rl-3]. 'The Respondent submits that it is necessary for an ASBO to be in
place to protect the public from further anti-social acts, specifically the organisation of raves,
done by the Appellant.
(4) A chronology of events is appended to this Skeleton Argument.
(5) LEGAL FRAMEWORK

Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014, s.21 of that Act provides that these proceedings are
unaffected except that, on 23 March 2020, the Appellant’s ASBO will automatically become
an Injunction under as if made under S.1 of that Act.
