Met Police wins appeal over G20 kettling tactics (BBC)
The Metropolitan Police (Met) has won its appeal against a High Court ruling over kettling tactics used during the G20 demonstrations.
The High Court ruling had been won by Hannah McClure, a student, and Josh Moos, a campaigner for Plane Stupid.
They challenged the legality of restraint methods used against them in April 2009 when they were contained by officers in Bishopsgate.
But the Court of Appeal has now ruled against the High Court's decision.
Mr Moos said it was "a shame" the appeal judges could not see that the police were "out of control".
