Verdict

Jiffy is right

Personal preference is not a legal prohibition

The dispute

Is Speedo style bikini swimwear for men acceptable in front of the general public?

Aba v Jiffy

This dispute concerns social convention rather than objective morality or law. Jiffy’s position is more coherent as it acknowledges that while a garment may be aesthetically divisive, it does not constitute a breach of public decency in most modern jurisdictions. Aba fails to provide a logical basis for 'offence' beyond personal distaste, which lacks the weight to override individual liberty.

Aba may take solace in the fact that while it is legal, the British clouds will likely discourage the practice anyway.
