Ian Kirk is acquitted of attending a gathering on Laxey Beach during lockdown last year.
A man accused of breaching the Isle of Man's Covid laws by swimming in the sea with others has been found not guilty after a trial.
High Bailiff Jayne Hughes ruled his actions did not constitute a gathering under the Covid regulations. The court heard some of those at the beach became confrontational with officers and Mr Kirk was arrested after returning to his van.
