- Case number
- HCAL178/2020
Leave to apply for judicial review was refused because the application was filed out of time without any extension application or acceptable explanation, the intended appeal had no realistic prospects of success given the absence of specified evidence or arguable grounds, and permitting the claim would prejudice public administration; a stay pending legal aid was not justified.
