Tommy Robinson case thrown out over incorrect police paperwork
-
Controversial activist Tommy Robinson has been cleared of breaching a dispersal order after a judge ruled the power had not been legally authorised.
The 41-year-old, real name Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, was arrested at a march against antisemitism after organisers said he would not be welcome.
A senior Met Police officer who signed the dispersal order had previously told Westminster Magistrates' Court he had used the wrong date.
On Tuesday, District Judge Daniel Sternberg ruled there was no case to answer.
