Sheffield incinerator - the worst incinerator in England
Monday 2nd December 2002
Right Honourable Judge Bentley
Mr Owen Davies QC
Mr Watson QC
His Honourable Judge Bentley directed the Jury that the defence of reasonable action to prevent a crime or to protect property could not be applied in this case and therefore there was no lawful excuse for the actions taken by the defendants. His reason for this ruling was that, at the time of the action, the incinerator was not working and therefore could not have been committing a crime or posing an imminent threat to property.
