The Council lawfully and reasonably interpreted and applied its published policy; it was entitled to appoint an Investigation Committee despite the applicants' cooperation because the committee's statutory powers (s42D and s42G) made it a distinct and necessary tool to secure third‑party material, protect confidentiality and ensure expedition; the decision was not Wednesbury unreasonable and is upheld.
