The term 'organiser' is not explicitly defined in statute. However, case law such as Flockhart v Robinson [1950] suggests that those who direct the route or manage significant aspects of the event might be considered organisers. In general practice, it is the involvement in advance planning that typically determines who is an organiser. Since Lucy only acted as a steward without prior involvement in planning, she would not usually be classified as an organiser. 


Key Point: The legal definition of an organiser can be context-dependent and is often influenced by prior involvement in planning and directing the event. Understanding roles and responsibilities in public order offences is crucial, as illustrated in public order statutes and relevant case law.
