The Commission applied the correct statutory test under s 70, considered relevant public interest factors and the newness of the legislation, made a permissible value judgment to use educative measures rather than police referral, and did not take irrelevant considerations; judicial review cannot substitute the Court's value judgment for that of the Commission, therefore the decision stands.
