"The Court of Appeal appears to have calmed the kerfuffle caused by the decision of the Divisional Court on 20 July 2005 in R (W) v Commissioner of Police for the Metropolis [2005] EWHC 1586 (Admin). Lawyers with a (professional) taste for anti-social behaviour will recall that (amongst other things) this had - somewhat controversially - decided that the power in section 30(6) of the Anti-Social Behaviour Act 2003 was permissive and not coercive. The Court of Appeal on 11 May 2006 took a different view holding that this measure 'plainly carries with it a coercive power' (see R (W) v (1) Commissioner of Police for the Metropolis (2) London Borough of Richmond-upon- Thames (3) Secretary of State for the Home Department [2006] EWCA Civ 458)."
