There was no existing final decision refusing to issue a certificate; the police's established practice of withholding or qualifying certificates pending ongoing criminal investigations is legitimate to prevent misleading foreign immigration authorities; the police's disclosure materials satisfied the applicant's need for information; accordingly mandamus and quashing were inappropriate and the judicial review application was dismissed with costs.
