- HCAL117/2013
The Applicant failed to meet the high threshold of demonstrating flagrant improper behaviour by the Adjudicator; the Adjudicator's refusal to hold an oral hearing and decision to proceed on available materials, while possibly wrong, was not an obvious or blatant error; therefore the usual rule applies and there is no order as to costs against the Adjudicator/Board, save the Applicant's own costs to be taxed under the Legal Aid Regulations.
