All of the cases were heard at Weymouth Magistrates’ Court under the single justice procedure system. A total of more than £7,700 in fines were dished out to the rule breakers by the bench. Three of the cases related to attending an indoor gathering at one flat in November last year, when the country was in a one-month lockdown period, while the other four cases involved separate incidents. Tia Amelia Burton, 18 and of Wimborne Road, Bournemouth, pleaded guilty to participating in an indoor gathering with two or more people at a ground floor flat in Christchurch Road, Bournemouth, on November 20, 2020. She was fined £320 and ordered to pay £34 surcharge and £85 costs.
