- High Court
The University lawfully interpreted and applied s 224 and its MBChB Regulations; s 224 confers eligibility but not an entitlement to automatic enrolment in a limited entry programme, the Regulations' once-only Alternative category rule and the exceptional-reasons discretion are lawful, and supplying or processing an application that would inevitably be rejected is not required and would be futile absent exceptional reasons.
