Commissioner of Police for the Metropolis v Kay: CA 21 May 2007

The commissioner appealed against a judgment that a mass cycle ride held regularly but over different routes did not first require notice to be given.
Held: The commissioner’s appeal succeeded. The fact that the route changed meant that the ride could not be considered to be customary, and so exempt from the notice requirements, however regulary it was held.
