Home Office to Appeal Court Ruling on Protest Laws

Government continues legal battle over controversial regulations despite previous court decision and criticism from civil liberties group Liberty.

The Home Office will proceed with its appeal against a court ruling that deemed new protest laws unlawful.
Liberty, a civil rights group, argues that the legislation is undemocratic and unconstitutional.
The contested laws lowered the threshold for what constitutes 'serious disruption' from significant to minor impacts.
Judges previously ruled the Home Office failed to conduct a fair consultation process before implementing the laws.
The appeal hearing is scheduled for later this year, with a date yet to be confirmed.
