The Judge was plainly wrong in law for failing to consider that the Board had not considered the merits when refusing late filing under s37ZT; the Court may intervene and exercise the discretion afresh, but upon a fresh multifactorial exercise the applicant's substantial unexplained delay (over 1 year 10 months) and the need for a disciplined approach to public law time limits justified refusal of leave to apply for judicial review despite arguable merits.
