The Court allowed the appeal: recipients of unused material are not barred from using material that has been made public by being referred to in open court and recorded in judgments or transcripts; on the facts the plaintiffs could, and should be given retrospective leave and permitted to re-amend their statement of claim to pursue a fraud-based challenge to prior judicial review judgments, including pleading vicarious liability; the strike-out and refusal of retrospective leave were reversed and costs orders below set aside.
