The appeal was dismissed and the High Court's interlocutory ruling was upheld: respondents 1, 3 and 5 were improperly joined because the impugned decisions were collective acts of respondents 2 and 4 and any factual witnesses can depose affidavits without being named; damages claims were rightly limited at the leave stage because damages in judicial review are permissible only where the claimant could have recovered them in an ordinary action and public servants entitled to reinstatement cannot also recover separate damages without double accounting.
