[2011] EWCA Civ 1541

The Protection from Harassment Act 1997 s.1(3)(a) was confined to a course of conduct the purpose of which was preventing or detecting crime. Where a respondent could not show that his course of conduct had been pursued for the purpose identified by s.1(3)(a), the course of conduct did not fall outside the prohibition in s.1(1) and accordingly it was unlawful.
