    The appeal is dismissed because the applicant failed to produce sufficient material to show that the judge erred in ordering the judicial review to be heard in open court; the general rule favors open justice and speculative risk of prejudice to potential criminal proceedings does not justify hearing the review in chambers, particularly since the judge can order in camera consideration of prejudicial material.
