The judge refused the s32 certificate because the contested legal points were either not engaged by the decision or already settled: the trial judge did not rely on the folded knife and properly considered the accused's clothing as contextual evidence; the burden stayed with the prosecution; and the statutory test for an offensive weapon requires assessment of the possessor's intent rather than an objective third‑party intent, so no point of general public importance was shown.
