As we continue to bring you reaction to the High Court’s ruling, here’s a quick look at the summary of their decision.

Dame Victoria Sharp said while reading out the 46-page judgement that the court considered the proscription of Palestine Action “disproportionate”.

“A very small number of Palestine Action’s activities amounted to acts of terrorism within the definition of section 1 of the 2000 Act,” she said.

“For these, and for Palestine Action’s other criminal activities, the general criminal law remains available.

“The nature and scale of Palestine Action’s activities falling within the definition of terrorism had not yet reached the level, scale and persistence to warrant proscription.”
