Questão jurídica principal
Whether the stand’s placement on public property unlawfully impeded pedestrian circulation and justified refusing authorization.
Decisão extraída
The location did not hinder the free flow of pedestrians, so the refusal could not be upheld on that ground.
Fundamentação extraída
Under LR.56(1), the public-interest assessment allowed the stand where the factual use of the space did not obstruct common passage; the municipal authority’s objection was therefore unfounded in the circumstances.
