Adler v George (1964) addressed the meaning of the term "in the vicinity of" under the Official Secrets Act 1920. The defendant, obstructing an officer inside a prohibited area, argued that the law only applied to actions near, but not within, such places.
Interpretation of "In the Vicinity of": The court clarified that the phrase "in the vicinity of" under the Official Secrets Act 1920, should be interpreted broadly. This includes actions occurring both near and within a prohibited place.
