Re: Cinema owner Anna Redfern, who admitted breaching Covid rules is appealing against her fine at Swansea Crown Court, Wales, UK.
The owner of Cinema & Co in Castle Street, Swansea was given a suspended prison sentence and fined £15,000 in December of 2021 at Swansea Magistrates' Court for defying laws.
In November, Covid passes became a legal requirement in cinemas in Wales, but Redfern refused to enforce them, saying they were "an infringement on our human rights".
On Friday, the court heard how Redfern is appealing against the £15,000 fine, on behalf of her company and in a personal capacity.
The judge asked about the sum of "north of £50,000" received by Redfern through an "online crowd funder". « less
