Disobedience to lawful order: knowing breach attracts criminal penalties where it causes obstruction or danger to public safety.
Disobedience to a lawfully promulgated order by a public servant is punishable when a person, knowing of the order directing abstention or specific management of property, disobeys it; one tier criminalises disobedience causing or risking obstruction, annoyance or injury, and a higher tier criminalises disobedience causing or risking danger to life, health or safety, or causing riot or affray. Knowledge of the order suffices; intent to harm is not required.
