On 15 June 1974 a demonstration in London against the National Front organised by the London and Home Counties Area Council of Liberation led to disorder in Red Lion Square, during which a Warwick University student, Kevin Gately, sustained injuries of which he later died. The coroner's inquest into Gately's death returned a verdict of death by misadventure. A public inquiry was conducted by Lord Justice Scarman between July and November 1974 to review the events that led to the disorder and to consider whether any lesson might be learned for the better maintenance of public order during demonstrations.
Cecil Angel and Company of Coventry acted as solicitors in the inquiry for the National Union of Students and the University of Warwick Students' Union.
