It was potentially an interesting, wider question that the hon. Member for South-West Hertfordshire asked. However, I am asking a very narrow question. Did Mr. Justice Park need to say, when he made the judgment in that case, what he said, or did he just go on, because he felt like going on to elaborate on areas that he did not need to elaborate on for the purposes of the case? If the latter, his comments were obiter, and therefore unnecessary as part of the letter of the law.
