Having now read the relevant legislation (Section 47), I am confident that if that legislation is all that applies any competent barrister should readily get the case dismissed if there was proof that the Headmaster acted not in his official capacity, but as a friend of the parent(s) and at their request. Let us hope for the Headmaster’s sake that he has such proof when the police knock on his door as a result of a report by Justin or Justin’sister-in-law. It is perhaps significant that Justin notes that the Headmaster in question told his staff that he had parental approval for his actions.
