- High Court
The investigating committee is required to apply an evaluative 'real prospect of success' threshold when deciding whether to refer a complaint to a disciplinary committee; the committee's evaluative fact‑finding and conclusions were within its powers, the identified factual errors were not material or sufficiently untenable to warrant judicial intervention, no breach of natural justice was established, and the court would not exercise its discretion to quash and remit; application dismissed.
