The court certified as points of law of great and general importance: the first two points raised by the applicants (that the preventing element relates to mens rea and that "preventing" does not require a complete stop) and the first three points raised by the respondent concerning the elements of s17B(2) including bilingual interpretation; the court held that in this case the applicants had dual purposes (demonstration and preventing transaction) and that "preventing" does not mean a complete stop.
