Unfortunately , the court decision then allowed the Harper govt enough wriggle room to introduce the Swedish model which was enacted within 12 months.

Human rights specialist Michael Lynn's favourable assessment on the non-constitutionality on the law , as at SWAI's website is worth checking out . And the one thing which his assessment doesn't make any capital on is the complete and deliberate non-disclosure of damning Swedish police reports that provide the foundation for the promotion of the Swedish model as a success.
I hope you are right.
The United Kingdom does not have a written constitution. That does not mean that a (unwritten) constitution does not exist, just that it is very difficult to have a law ruled unconstitutional. To have the law struck down the burden of proof would lie with proving there was some major legal problem with it. The courts are always hesitant to rule against lawmakers.
I agree it is a very bad law, but even if the judges agreed, they still (I would think) be reluctant to strike it down.
