Nearly 20 Palestine Action attacks could have been prevented if the Government had proscribed them when it first considered doing so in March.
The High Court heard on Friday that proscription was first considered three months before its activists broke into RAF Brize Norton and vandalised warplanes.
Had the group been proscribed then, 19 criminal acts 鈥 including vandalism, trespass and theft 鈥 conducted by its activists since the beginning of March may have been prevented.
Palestine Action admitted to all of the attacks on its website, publishing details, images and videos.
The group is set to be proscribed after both Houses of Parliament backed the proposals.
But it is challenging the decision at the High Court, having branded it an 鈥渁buse of power鈥.
