- HCAL123/2022
The application for extension of time and leave to apply for judicial review was refused because the application was brought more than four years late with no satisfactory explanation, the proposed grounds disclosed no error of law or procedural unfairness and no realistic prospect of success as the Board's credibility and factual findings and its application of COI satisfied the enhanced Wednesbury standard; the applicant's defaults and sleeping on his rights justified dismissal for want of prosecution.
