- High Court
On the pleadings and for strike out purposes the claim that TCDC's decision was reviewable was not so clearly untenable that it could not possibly succeed; factual ambiguity as to the Declaration's effect and the mayor's capacity meant strike out was inappropriate; balancing access to justice and public interest, security for costs was refused as disproportionate given the narrow binary issue and public interest dimension.
