The Court of Appeal reversed the District Court's decision to exclude the question of arrest legality from the main proceedings. The District Court had sought to handle the arrest justification separately, but the appellate court found this procedural approach insufficient for a complete review. Consequently, the court ordered that the justification for the arrest be separated into a distinct, standalone proceeding to ensure proper legal examination.
