Covid-breach cafe owners fined - one claimed virus was 'Nazi government propaganda'
The husband and wife owners of a Covid-breach cafe have been hauled to court and fined. One claimed the Covid-19 pandemic was 'Nazi government propaganda' when council officers paid a visit.
"It was found to have continued trading during lockdown and refusing to take protective measures that were, at the time, required by businesses in order to keep members of the public safe," said the council in a statement on Friday. The council said that at the hearing, an individual purporting to be 'in a contract' with the defendants cited antiquated legislation, namely the Monopolies Act, 1662, as part of an argument that they could address the court. But the council spokesman said the District Judge did not permit the person to represent the defendants at the trial, at which point the individual, and the defendants, walked out of the court.
"On 30 January, 2021 the council issued an improvement notice on the cafe and its directors, requiring compliance with the Coronavirus Regulations. However, clear disregard was shown towards this Improvement Notice, resulting in three Fixed Penalty Notices being served against the premises. In total, £7,000 of FPNs were accrued by the owners.
