From my interpretation of reading the newspaper today, this is all great news. Bawdy house also meant a prostitute couldn't practice in her own home (which isn't what most people think of when you say "brothel" ie: whole house full of whores.)
Also this challenge to the law was brought to the courts by prostitutes, on a small legal aid budget. Awesome progress.
It says that prostitutes will be able to talk to johns on the street, as long as they don't "hold up traffic" (aka talk to guys through car windows, whether they're in the way or not)
Also the drug addict hookers will have a hard time with this. If this is allowed to go through, they'll get ZERO support from their legal co-workers, just like kiddy porn fucks get ZERO support from us.
It also said hookers could now pay accountants and body guards without the accountants et al fearing for "living off the avails of prostitution".
