    Leave to apply for judicial review was refused because the applicants failed to identify any specific arguable public law wrong, most lacked standing, the applications were brought after undue delay (decades) without good reason, the squatter control policy has been published and applied, and the Director's actions in handling unlawful occupation are landowner administrative decisions not generally subject to public law review.

    Case number
    HCAL1868/2023

    The applications for leave were dismissed because the Applicants failed to identify a specific public law wrong, most Applicants lacked sufficient standing, there was unjustified undue delay (up to 41 years) with no good reason to extend time, the Director's decisions in the context of land administration are not generally amenable to judicial review, and the Policy had been published and applied consistently such that no reasonably arguable public law claim existed.
