Citation

SANGEETA DAMAI v. DIRECTOR OF IMMIGRATION AND ANOTHER
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCAL114/2000

The court held the Respondents' decisions were not Wednesbury‑unreasonable and did not breach natural justice: the refusal letters contained adequate reasons, the Respondents considered relevant factors including alleged material changes and compassionate grounds, and an alien in the applicant's position had no entitlement to a hearing; therefore leave to apply for judicial review was refused.

BALDEV SINGH AND OTHERS v. DIRECTOR OF IMMIGRATION AND ANOTHER

Citation

BALDEV SINGH AND OTHERS v. DIRECTOR OF IMMIGRATION AND ANOTHER
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCAL149/1999

The Director lawfully exercised his statutory discretion in rejecting the applicants' change of status because the dependency and adequate financial support requirements were not satisfied, the decision was neither unreasonable nor illogical, and the applicants failed to establish an arguable case of bad faith or procedural unfairness warranting judicial intervention; therefore leave to apply for judicial review was properly refused.
