Leave to apply for judicial review was granted in respect of decisions 1, 4 and 5 (attack on use of Chinese proficiency criterion and on qualifying service/backdating) because those points disclosed arguable cases; leave was refused in respect of decisions 2 and 3 (limited exemption to pre-31 Oct 1995 applicants and challenge to requirement that overseas officers must first transfer to local conditions) because no basis for challenge or claim is time-barred/should have been raised earlier.
