Mr. Cummings went with His Family to Durham, to stay with the farm on the evening of the 27 of his father. In March, after his wife suspected ill, and that he might soon be sick. The Next day, he developed a coronavirus symptoms and was self-isolating.

12. April, Mr Cummings was cleared to return to work and The Trip wanted to go Back To London. He decided to go for a drive, to see if he can drive safely.

"My Wife was very worried, especially since my eyes seemed to have light, were affected by the disease. You didn't want to risk, an almost 300-mile journey with the child of their own given how sick I had been. "

He explained that after the Parking lot on The Outskirts of Barnard Castle in the city, he felt sick and The Family went "about 10-15m" and sat on the Bank of The River for about 15 Minutes .

Durham police have now investigated and said that if an officer had ceased, Mr. Cummings, on The Way to or from the city, he would have said, returning to his father's property. If he had agreed, no further action had been taken.

The Police are of the view that there is a small violation of the rules could, because Mr. Cummings in maintaining social distancing, More Than 2m away from everyone.

According to Adam King , a senior criminal barrister at the MILLENNIUM Hollis Whiteman, "the use of The Word 'perhaps' makes it clear that it is not The Police the ultimate decision to determine whether or not to have, a reasonable excuse for the courts. "

"However, if The Police was of the view that there is a reasonable excuse, you would expect them to, as they do in relation to the journey to Durham," he Says .

The block has been reinforced by both The Law and various sets of government policies. The Police only deal with The Law .

The Says : "During The Emergency , no person can leave The Place where you live, without a reasonable excuse. "The act gives examples of reasonable excuses, such as provision of the needs, movement, medical necessity and trips to work.
