The court held the consolidated applications must be dismissed because both the Building Authority and the Appeal Tribunal acted within the statutory discretion conferred by the Buildings Ordinance; no legitimate expectation or estoppel arose that required an inquiry; the Tribunal was entitled to decide matters on the papers and the reasons given were adequate in context; the conduct did not amount to an abuse of power or Wednesbury unreasonableness warranting judicial intervention.
