- Case number
- HCAL1626/2021
Leave to apply for judicial review was refused because the court concluded there was no arguable public law error: the applicant failed to provide a reasonable excuse for not signing and returning the prescribed declaration by the stipulated deadline, the Secretary's decision to require retirement under s12 PS(A)O was not irrational, the reasons for the decision were adequate when read with the prior correspondence, non-disclosure of internal material caused no substantial prejudice, and relevant section 12 considerations were taken into account.
