District Judge Daniel Sternberg said: I am not satisfied there was a legal authorisation. There is no case for you to answer.
The case was dropped after a Metropolitan Police blunder was revealed, with the dispersal order being mistakenly dated two days prior to the event.
Inspector Steve Parker-Phipps conceded the error after defence questioning, highlighting a litany of catastrophic errors by the police.
The Met vowed to reassess procedures to prevent future errors, emphasizing the balance between protest rights and public safety.
