the law lords ruled that the Met had been acting lawfully in containing Austin and other peaceful protests because doing so was necessary to control some elements within the crowd who were committing violence.
The law lords said theirs was a "pragmatic approach" that took into account the reason police decided to contain the demonstrators. However, for containment to be lawful, they ruled police must use the tactic in good faith, proportionately and for no longer than is necessary
