The Court of Appeal allowed the Director's appeal, set aside the High Court order of mandamus and remitted the applicant's legal aid appeal to another Master for fresh consideration limited to whether, under s10(3)(c) of the Legal Aid Ordinance, it would be unreasonable to grant legal aid in the circumstances; the court held mandamus was inappropriate because the remitted decision required primary decision‑maker assessment and mandamus is only justified where only one legal outcome is open.
