Thread: What If.....

    What If.....

    I am given to understand that there are now litter inspectors in Southport who issue fines for litter dropped in the street.

    Can anyone tell me, what are the legal issues if you happen to inadvertently drop a twenty pound note on the ground and one of the litter officers sees this?

    In reality, what do you think would happen?

    A £20 note is not litter.

    I would expect the note to be handed back to you as the owner or as crown treasure the inspector would have to hand it into to his office
    as with any 'litter' of value' found on duty as lost property.

    If the owner of the £20 satisfies the following - throws down, drops, or otherwise deposits' and - crucially - 'leaves' the £20 then it is a littering offence. In your scenario it is inadverantly dropped and so not litter.

    Is that the legal position?
