On the 4th July 2020 (styled by the media as “Super Saturday”) pubs, restaurants, hairdressers and cinemas were reopened in England “after a major relaxation of lockdown curbs”.  Although changes to the ‘rules’ were announced many days in advance, it was not until late afternoon on the 3rd July that the Government published two sets of regulations for England: one specific to the town of Leicester, and the other applicable to the remainder of England.  The revised regulations are very different in content and structure from those that it revoked.  An earlier posting by this commentator has been critical of the open-textured drafting of the health protection regulations. The revised regulations are open to the same criticism [see Link].
