[2004] EWCA Crim 2943
The appellant's convictions for having an offensive weapon in a public place and having an article with a blade or point in a public place could not stand where the judge had determined a question of fact that was for the jury to decide, namely whether certain premises constituted a "public place" under the relevant statutes.
