Reginald D Hunter court summons quashed for attempt to have him ‘cancelled’
AI Summary
A court summons against comedian Reginald D. Hunter was quashed after District Judge Michael Snow determined the Campaign Against Antisemitism (CAA) misled the court. The CAA had sought a private prosecution against Hunter for allegedly sending offensive communications to Heidi Bachram on social media in August and September 2024. Judge Snow ruled the prosecution was "abusive," stating the CAA's motive was to "have him cancelled" and that they failed to meet disclosure obligations. He found the CAA's summary of Bachram's tweets inadequate and misleading, suggesting Hunter's comments were a response to attempts to have him "cancelled" rather than directed at her Jewish faith. Hunter's lawyer argued the CAA used the courts for their own political agenda, while the CAA's prosecutor maintained they complied with their duty of candour.
