Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCAL533/2021

The leave application was dismissed because there was no decision dated 7 April 2021 to challenge, the applicant confirmed he no longer sought relief and consented to dismissal, and any amendment to challenge the actual Board decision would be out of time and therefore futile.

The Court will not grant leave on the 'or otherwise' ground and accordingly dismissed the defendant's application; the plaintiff was not unreasonable in refusing to consent to dismissal and is entitled to the costs of the application on a party-and-party basis to be taxed if not agreed, with only one counsel to be allowed.
