- Case number
- HCAL1567/2021
Leave to apply for judicial review was granted because the Board's decision of 24 April 2019 did not consider the merits of the applicant's claim contrary to established Court of Appeal authority; the subsequent statutory revision (s37TZ) removing that obligation could not be applied retrospectively to validate the Board's conduct.
