Contained in the licensing act at page Appendix 4 of that act it states; - is
                 not illegal or an offence for any person to provide entertainment in a
                 private back garden or private residence unless they have the intentions to
                 make profit. We do not accept that a person who helps, organizes or
                 supplies equipment for a rave where there is loud music late at night has
                 obviously done an act in contravention of section I (1) (a) of the 1998 Act,
                 but we do accept that If this was to take place out doors in a public place or
                 not on a private self-contained premises then playing music with 20 or
                 more person(s) may constitute to the legal definition of the word “Rave”

                 dwelling listening to music then trespass must take place and or a breach of

                 the Applicant appealed to this court against the making of the Asbo order.
                 Mr. Simon Cordell agrees that he did set out various grounds in support of
                 his appeal in a document entitled "Re Simon Cordell v The Commissioner
                 of Police," which is to be found at page 406 of the appellant's bundle,
                 appeal against the imposition of an ASBO. In the response to judge
                 PARLAKS requested letter dated the
                 22/02/2016
                 what is an eight-page document, which is contained at pages 397 to 404 of
                 the appeal bundle. The ASBO was ordered by the District Judge to last for
                 five years and this did not run conclusive with the two-year time period of
                 the injunction, totalling to seven years. The Applicant feels that he has
                 continually been supporting evidence to satisfy the court to the criminal
                 standard that the he has not acted in a manner that caused or was likely to
                 cause harassment, alarm or distress on the dates contained within the Asbo
                 application by way of organizing illegal raves under the raves bill 1994
                 section 63 of that act. The Applicant understands that the second limb of
                 the test, as the authorities should provide has not been met to the criminal
                 standards of proof needed to obtain a guilty verdict. It has been said that
                 the  fact  that  an  unoccupied  or  deserted  building  is  taken  over  by
                 squatters,  who  treat  it  or  claim  to  be  treating  it  as their  home, is,  in
                 our  view (“the prosecution view”), irrelevant to the issue of the case in
                 respect to whether an event which takes place at a occupied squat building,
                 be it a so-called rave or not, there is a clear difference between a rave and
                 private party, the case being brought in motion against the appellant is for
                 the organization of illegal “RAVES” the key word being raves, if a rave
                 cannot be proven to have taken place, then there should by law, be no case
