Recommendation
To improve accessibility and foreseeability, the Bill should be amended to include a definition of “protest” or alternatively the need for the procession or assembly to constitute a protest should be removed. Removing this requirement would, however, widen the reach of the offence and should be accompanied by further changes to the Bill proposed below. (Recommendation, Paragraph 117)
