More Adu about Nothing

Monday morning, the legal teams return to court to seek a ruling on whether there will be an injunction on native "protests" at development sites in Brantford. Of course, we have had essentially an interim injunction for some time now, largely unenforced, to address these protests. And in March last year, we had this strange impasse:

Justice Harrison Arrell issued an interim order telling natives to stop protesting, and Brantford to not enforce its anti-protesting bylaws for two months.

Which I always thought was more than a little superfluous. If natives stopped protesting, no such enforcement would be necessary or even meaningful. So why not just reword the interim order as "stop protesting", period? The above is more like telling a perpetrator, "if you don't break the law, we won't charge you with a crime". Huh?
