The court refused to certify the proposed points under section 32 because the questions were either already addressed, premature or fact‑specific; the proper course is to remit the matter to the District Court to hear the contested evidence about the authorities' recording and its justification rather than lay down categorical legal rules on privilege or automatic stays.
