[2002] EWCA Crim 500

Threatened self-immolation in a public attraction was capable of being a threat to criminally damage the property of another contrary to s.2(a) Criminal Damage Act 1971. In this instance a misdirection about the ingredients of an offence under s.2 of the 1971 Act rendered the convictions unsafe.
