- High Court
Extension of time under s247 refused because delay (85 days) was substantial, the stated reason (ignorance/error of adviser) did not amount to 'special circumstances', and the proposed review lacked strong merits; leave under s249 refused because the issues relied on could be adequately dealt with on appeal and the Tribunal correctly applied the s207 test and reasonably assessed the evidence; costs awarded to the Chief Executive on a 2B basis.
