Discussion
"…….the answer to the question [of what are the limits to the right of lawful assembly and protest on the highway] is inevitably fact-sensitive and will depend on a number of factors….those factors include but are not limited to the extent which the continuation of the protest would breach domestic law, the importance of the precise location to the protestors, the duration of the protest, the degree to which the protestors occupy the land, and the extent of the actual interference the protest causes to the rights of others, including the property rights of the owners of the land, and the rights of any members of the public."
