Interim relief was refused because the plaintiff's substantive case was weak: the evidence supported the Secretary's reasonable belief that Turner and Spicer were 'key persons' and unsuitable; there was no established breach of natural justice for a new licence application; the plaintiff caused significant delay; and the balance of convenience and public interest favoured the defendant, making it inappropriate to direct the Secretary to issue a one‑day licence to circumvent statutory licensing requirements.
