  • Not if you went shopping for barbecue food first though. 🤔

    And the gathering still wouldn't be illegal, but people who left their own house, with the sole intention of going to the BBQ, would have broken the law.

  • Ha - see edit.

    I'd argue, if you left knowing you would go on to the bbq (even via the butchers) you're still banged to rights, but then its mad we even have to argue about this interpretation. How did no one spot this when it was drafted?

  • It's a good thing they aren't in charge of anything important, like drafting laws...
    I've definitely no knowledge of how prosecution works, but the way I read it, I don't think intent would come into it, as buying food is a reasonable excuse to leave house.
