The Director of Immigration's discretion under ss.11(5A)(c) and 13 is wide and unfettered; judicial intervention is only warranted where the decision is illegal, irrational in the Wednesbury sense, or procedurally improper. The material showed the Director had considered the humanitarian submissions and lawfully balanced public interest factors; accordingly the leave for judicial review was set aside.
