The Court held that Corrections' decision to disapprove the Sawyers Arms address and require immediate relocation was lawful and not unreasonable because it implemented a clear Parole Board direction, relied permissibly on concerns from a trusted service provider (CRC), and was justified by urgency and the public protection purpose of the ESO regime; any failure to disclose every concern did not render the decision unlawful or materially unfair and consideration of potential Tenancy Tribunal claims was not outcome-determinative.
