Cinema owner who admitted breaching Covid rules asked to clarify the grounds of appeal
Both Swansea council and the Welsh government ordered her to close the premises, with a district judge warning Redfern she would be in contempt of court if she reopened.She was given a 28-day prison sentence, suspended for nine months.At Thursday's hearing, the judge also said she needed to clarify whether she was appealing purely against her personal conviction, or her cinema's corporate conviction.
Swansea council's prosecutor Lee Reynolds said Redfern had said she received about £55,000 from an online "crowdfunder". He added the "aims" were to pay for legal costs, challenge fines and loss of business, as well five other "charitable" aims, including "taking her kids on holiday to celebrate getting her freedom back".The court heard Redfern had been unable to secure legal representation, with Mr Reynolds saying the local authority has had "no correspondence" from her.
The court heard one of Redfern's reasons for appealing for the fine to be reduced was that she had two children.He added Redfern's suspended sentence could also be increased, though he added that this is "far less likely than an increase in the fine". Adjourning the case for a week, he said: "Nothing I have said is an indication of the way this case is going to go but she needs to be aware of the potential consequences."
