The court refused leave because none of the grounds were reasonably arguable: the FHANs were lawful and proportionate measures within the DFS's wide discretionary and technical expertise, the alleged alternatives did not render the measures manifestly without reasonable foundation, there was no implied duty to consult or to give reasons in the circumstances, and the applicant's belated attempt to re-amend Form 86 was disallowed for delay and prejudice; accordingly leave to apply for judicial review was refused and costs were awarded on a nisi basis.
