Sessions judge Steve Ritikos said the walk from the hotel to the rugby field did not constitute a street protest. "I do not see how the movement of the two accused and the crowd from Hilton to the Song Kheng Hai field is a street protest. It does not mean that if you meet at Hilton, that is where the street protest starts. Lead defence counsel Gobind Singh Deo said this was an important decision because it defined the meaning of street protest under the Peaceful Assembly Act. "What happened that day clearly shows that it was not a street protest.
