- High Court
The court dismissed the judicial review application: the Minister's decision to decline intervention was not Wednesbury unreasonable. The briefing materials and applicant's submissions adequately raised ICCPR considerations; s11 and s61 confined review; the Minister was entitled to decide on the materials before him without further inquiry; alleged briefing errors were not so overwhelming as to render the decision irrational.
