The application for leave was refused because it was out of time without satisfactory explanation and had no realistic prospect of success: the applicant failed to provide sufficient written evidence (including medical evidence) to demonstrate circumstances beyond his control preventing return of the SCF within statutory time; the Director and Board followed statutory procedure and acted lawfully and fairly in refusing to re-open the claim.
