- High Court
The appeal is dismissed because Judge Harrison did not err in law: he permissibly assessed the entirety of the evidence, correctly identified that the Review Panel report was flawed and relied upon by the Director, and reached factual conclusions that a judicially‑proper decision‑maker could reasonably reach; the Director complied with s51 and the High Court will not overturn concurrent factual evaluations absent the high Edwards/Bairstow threshold.
