Leave to apply for judicial review was granted because the Bar Council's grounds were reasonably arguable: the Tribunal is amenable to judicial review, the Bar Council has standing, and there is a reasonably arguable case that the Tribunal misdirected itself about the scope of counsel's autonomy and failed to consider whether counsel should have obtained instructions or advised the client before deciding not to call potentially exculpatory evidence.
