The court refused to certify any question for leave to appeal because the central issues relied on by the applicant involved fact‑sensitive determinations (whether acts were wilful and amounted to obstruction, whether the accused held a genuine belief that the officer was not in the due execution of his duty, and any lawful excuse) and were not reasonably arguable points of law suitable for certification under section 32(2). The context of an advancing police line at a public demonstration is a material circumstance to be assessed on the facts.
