Leave to apply for judicial review was refused because the applicant failed to exhaust available alternative remedies (a pending disciplinary inquiry and appeal route existed), the application was brought with excessive delay (approximately 12 years) without adequate explanation, and on provisional consideration the Council's restriction was plausibly proportionate to legitimate aims (public confidence, quality of service, protection of the vulnerable), so refusal of leave was justified.
