We’ll look at this case in class: George v. Adler
On 11 May 1963, Frank Adler, while within the boundaries of Marham Royal Air Force station, obstructed Albert George, a police superintendent engaged in security duties at the station. Adler was charged with contravening section 3 of the Official Secrets Act 1920 (UK). The section provided:
No person
in the vicinity of
any prohibited place shall obstruct, knowingly mislead or otherwise interfere with or impede, the chief officer or a superintendent or other officer of police, or any member of His Majesty’s forces engaged on guard, sentry, patrol, or other similar duty in relation to the prohibited place, and, if any person acts in contravention of, or fails to comply with, this provision, he shall be guilty of a misdemeanour.
If you had been Adler’s lawyer, what argument would you have made to claim that this Act doesn’t apply? Use the dictionary to help you make your case.
If you had been on George’s side, how would you have argued?
