- HCAL249/2022
Leave to apply for judicial review was refused because the intended grounds were not reasonably arguable: the intended High Court claim arose from the employment contract and fell within the Labour Tribunal's exclusive jurisdiction for which legal aid is unavailable; the Master correctly treated the appeal as a de novo assessment, did not commit public law error, gave adequate reasons in context, and the DLA decision was not amenable to review where the statutory appeal was pursued.
