The Court held that the challenged provisions of the Code, as drafted, infringed the constitutional freedom of expression and that the infringements were not justified because they were disproportionate and went further than necessary; less intrusive, practicable measures were available. Accordingly the Medical Council's appeal was dismissed and the respondent was ordered to pay the applicant's costs (subject to taxation).
