CP Ships had locus to petition because it was in possession of the goods as bailee through its agent and sub-bailee arrangements; however there was no duty in the circumstances for the Chief Executive to give reasons, the Memo fairly summarized the competing contentions and legitimately advised rejection, and the Chief Executive's refusal to order return of the seized strategic commodities was not disproportionate — judicial review dismissed.
