To Graham´s response to me. Not sure how the process works in the U.K. 
so I will use a Calfornia model.

There, a act is passed and signed into law. The problem comes in the 
next step when the administrative code is written, which determines how 
the law is actually applied. So if this was California, the problem is 
not the law but the admin code, which is fairly simple to change if it 
seems as stupid as this case. If stage is an existing exception, it is 
probably an oversight that this does not include dance. It would not 
take the supreme court to seek remedy, only one judge to hear an 
appleal for exception. If the appeal was well prepared and the judge in 
question intelligent in the wording of his ruling, I doubt if the 
state´s attourney´s would fight it, and this would sort of set a 
precident, so that related cases would easily get the same exception.
