officer statements, none of these were addressed. We know
                 the police knew about the illegal rave at Crown Road
                 because police were deployed there. This can clearly be seen
                 within the CADs which are within the application’s bundle.
                 But there is so much redaction within the CADs we believe
                 there is a lot more that pertain to Crown Road, and we
                 cannot see due to the reductions. There is also a lot of
                 missing CAD reports. Part of The Appellant’s barrister
                 submission had been that the allegations were that The
                 Appellant was involved in the organising of illegal raves, but
                 the applicant hadn’t adduced evidence of trespass which is a
                 requirement for proving that an indoor rave was illegal. The
                 district Judge ruled that the applicant did not need to prove
                 illegality, all that needed to prove was the Appellant had
                 acted in an Antisocial Manner. In The Appellants barrister
                 view this is a very questionable decision: firstly, the
                 applicant based their case on the illegality of the raves rather
                 than the fact of the raves themselves and secondly, without
                 proof of illegality the presumption of innocence leads to the
                 conclusion that the raves were legal, and thus the applicant
                 being prohibited from engaging in an ostensibly lawful
                 activity requires more careful consideration on issues of
                 proportionality. The Applicant could judicial review the case
                 state this decision but I think there is little merit in doing so
                 because he would then lose his right to Appeal to the Crown
                 Court and even if he succeeded in the high/div Court, they
                 would merely remit it back to the Lower Court who would
                 then probably go through the motions of considering
                 proportionality before coming to the same conclusion. To
                 summarise the Judge stated she did not need to prove
                 illegality, but she proved The Appellant had acted in an
                 Antisocial Manner, how the district Judge came to this
                 conclusion we do not understand, not one police officer had
                 stated The Appellant had acted in an Antisocial Manner
                 towards them, is also a fact that any application for an
                 Antisocial Behaviour Order has to be bought within six
                 months of the dates, there was cases going back prior to the
                 six months which should have only been used for reference,
                 but the District Judge also included these cases to be proven.
                 Since this case started, we knew the police and the public
                 order investigation unit held information on the police
                 systems that proved The Appellant was not the organiser of
                 these illegal raves. In fact, the police knowingly went around
                 to the known organiser’s homes and also spoke with them on
                 the telephone. This proves they have the information we
                 were asking for in disclosure. (This was found out via social
                 media and Google by The Appellant’s mother) The
                 Appellant’s mother even called the public order
                 investigation unit and spoke to DS Chapman, and Val
                 Turner. The Appellant had not been coping throughout this
