Question 109

The leader of a pressure group has organised a procession through a busy city centre. In order to obtain maximum exposure whilst minimising disruption to the public, the procession will take place at 11am on a Saturday. The leader expects around 200 of his group’s members to attend.

Three weeks before the procession, the leader realises he has not notified the authorities that it will be taking place. He therefore writes a letter to the city council informing it of the date, time, route and the number of people he expects to be involved in the procession, and delivers this letter by hand the same day. The leader has included his name, address and telephone contact details in the letter.

Which of the following best explains whether the leader has complied with any legal requirements to give notice of the procession?

A. Yes, the letter provides sufficient information to the appropriate authority and has been delivered in accordance with the deadlines.

B. Yes, the letter provides sufficient information to the appropriate authority and there are no deadlines for delivery.

C. No, the letter has been delivered in accordance with the deadlines and to the appropriate authority but provides insufficient information.

D. No, the letter has been delivered in accordance with the deadlines and provides sufficient information but has been delivered to the wrong authority.

E. No, the letter provides sufficient information, but it has been delivered outside the deadlines and to the wrong authority.


D - No, the letter has been delivered in accordance with the deadlines and provides sufficient information but has been delivered to the wrong authority.
