The council appealed refusal of the magistrate to grant it an anti-social behaviour order. The subject had been riding a jet ski at a grossly excessive speed. The witness statements had not included any statement that the witness was cause any alarm or distress by the behaviour.
Held: It was a necessary pre-requisite for an order that the behaviour had a potential victim. Behaviour which might only injure the subject of the application did not count.
