//It did not set a legal precedent which means another court of similar standing is not bound by the decision.//
Perfectly so, Corby. But such decisions have a habit (if not challenged) of becoming "convention." There's nothing to stop one of M'Learned Friends saying, in his closing speech "Members of the jury, you may remember the case where the Colston Statue was dumped into the river in Bristol. That was done because of a genuinely held belief...etc. etc." Whilst it will be for the judge to direct the jury as to the validity of that argument, it is customary for closing speeches by both sides to proceed unimpeded and the damage will have been done. If this appeal for clarity finds in the A-G's favour, that damage is less likely to be inflicted.

The only one I can think of is the one about sending money for the air fare for the son to repatriate - admittedly from Syria or Isis-freedom-land that he had sort of ended up in,, and they were indicted for supporting terrorism. Sweet v parsley applied
