The decision text calls the applicant Power Point Ltd. Power Right argued that its keyholders responded to alarm calls but did not proactively prevent intrusions. Nera said their work involved security or surveillance functions to protect property. The Court found that checking premises after alarms involved preventing or detecting intrusion, and that the service protected property.
