    Court
    Court of Appeal
    Case number
    CACV92/2006

    Given the material inconsistency between the refusal letter of 30 May 2005 and the explanatory letter of 20 June 2005, and the low threshold for grant of leave, the Court of Appeal held the material disclosed an arguable case of unfairness/predetermination and therefore allowed the appeal, set aside the refusal of leave below and directed the judicial review application be heard by a different judge.
