- HCAL1764/2021
The court allowed amendment to replace the Board with the Director as the proposed respondent but dismissed the leave application and refused an extension of time because the applicant failed to identify arguable grounds against the Director's subsequent decision, provided no cogent evidence of a significant change of circumstances under s.37ZO, and the delay was unjustified; the Director had applied the law correctly and observed fairness and there was no error of law, procedural unfairness or irrationality to justify leave.
