I read the whole judgement and it felt very positive to me. It seems like the effect that "separation of powers" should have - namely that the executive now has the choice only to either comply or to enter into a protracted battle with the judiciary, where they're going to piss off every judge all the way up to the Supreme Court. I would hope that if the executive ignored the decision of this judge, for example, the net effect would be to turn the whole judiciary against them on this matter. Eventually the executive ends up faced with a choice to either drop the pretence of democracy (as democracy is not in line with the actions they claim to need to do) or to change their ways. One can hope...
