Where no Ewe Apla interpreter was available the claimant had a legal duty to use her best endeavours to complete and return the claim forms using available alternatives (common Ewe, French, assistance of family or legal aid); the Director and Board discharged their obligations and the Board's factual finding that the applicant failed to use best endeavours was lawful and not irrational; accordingly leave to judicially review was refused.
