Mr. Cordell began to try and argue his point that it was not a rave and that it was a private
party. I spoke at length with Mr. Cordell explaining the legal situation and how by definition
this was a rave and that ultimately there were too few people present at the time to stop police
and so on this occasion I could act and close the rave. Mr Simon Cordell will state that at no
point of time did he take part in any form of Anti-Social behaviour neither did he organize or
hire any equipment or was he attending a rave on the 9th June 2014 in regards to the
allegations presented within the ASBO application, he did attended a friends birthday dinner
party as a guest.

any sound equipment as this would not have fitted into his vehicle.
