- CACV5/2017
Sections 14AA and 14AB apply to interlocutory refusals to extend time to bring judicial review; such refusals are interlocutory discretionary decisions involving multiple factors and are not de facto merits determinations; applying s14AB in this context is rationally connected to legitimate aims (efficient use of judicial resources and promptitude in public law) and is proportionate, therefore not unconstitutional; the applicant's motion for leave to appeal to the Court of Final Appeal is dismissed.
