[2008] EWHC 438 (Admin)

The fact that the complainant had not seen the relevant offending material until it was shown to him by police officers, by which time it was no longer on the website where it had been published, did not break the chain of causation for the purposes of a prosecution under the Public Order Act 1986 s.4A against the person responsible for publishing the material.
