The High Court granted leave because at the low threshold for leave the application was not frivolous or vexatious and there was some substance in the grounds implicating constitutional rights (Article 11). The court confined itself to the leave-stage test and did not decide substantive merits or resolve the Article 121(1A) jurisdictional objection, leaving those issues for the substantive judicial review hearing.
