Procedural Posture

Application for Leave to Apply for Judicial Review / Leave Application (consideration of Documents Only)

Legal Issues

  1. 1 Whether the Board erred in law or acted irrationally or procedurally unfairly in dismissing BOR 2 risk
  2. 2 Whether the applicant identified arguable grounds for judicial review
  3. 3 Whether BOR 2 risk is separable from BOR 3 risk when BOR 3 has been rejected

Ratio Decidendi

The Board's decision to dismiss BOR 2 risk was lawful and not Wednesbury unreasonable or procedurally unfair; BOR 2 was not arguable in light of the prior rejection of BOR 3; the adjudicator's incorrect title was immaterial because he was a Board member with authority to decide; consequently the applicant failed to establish a reasonably arguable claim and leave is refused.
