Procedural Posture

Judicial Review / Application for Leave to Apply for Judicial Review (form 86) – Leave Application Dismissed

Legal Issues

  1. 1 Whether the Applicant validly withdrew the leave application
  2. 2 Whether the leave application should be dismissed for want of prosecution
  3. 3 Whether the Board's decision contained errors of law or procedural unfairness

The Applicant's withdrawal was not validated because he failed to file the required affirmation or statement; in consequence the Court refused the withdrawal and dismissed the leave application for want of prosecution. On merits review the Court, after anxious scrutiny, found no apparent error of law, procedural unfairness or Wednesbury unreasonableness in the Board's Decision and therefore no basis to grant leave.

Court Disposition

Application to withdraw refused; application for leave to apply for judicial review dismissed for want of prosecution.
