- Case number
- HCAL257/2023
The application for extension of time and leave to apply for judicial review was refused because the applicant was inordinate and substantially out of time (over five years), provided no satisfactory explanation or documentary evidence of special circumstances to justify the delay, failed to discharge statutory duties to return the claim form, and failed to identify any arguable legal error, irrationality or procedural unfairness in the Board's decision to refuse late filing; accordingly there was no prospect of success.
