Leave to apply for judicial review was refused because there was no reasonably arguable ground that the one year continuous residence requirement for Disability Allowance was manifestly without reasonable foundation; the Legislative Council Brief cannot be treated as statute or conclusive rationale, the rule has a long history since 1973 and pursues the legitimate aim of protecting public funds, and comparative or more liberal schemes do not establish irrationality.
