Mark Barrett's case, stemming from his arrest at the August 28th 2005 Sunday Picnic in Parliament Square, was due to have been heard on Wednesday 17th January 2006.
However, due to some "emergency cases" which jumped into the Bow Street Magistrates' Court schedule, it now seems to have been postponed until Friday 31st March 2006 at 10am.
The 4 Police prosecution witnesses had objected to the Wednesday 17th January date as it clashed with their holidays, but they, like the defendant and his supporters had to sit around pointlessly all afternoon.

Was the charge actually that of organising a demonstration as had been threatened, or the less serious one of just participating in one ?
Not sure if you're aware, but the link to the court report doesn't work.
The link should now be fixed, thanks.
