- Court of Appeal
Section 177, in context and as amended post-Ye/Huang, restricts judicial review to ensuring the immigration officer complied with the limited recording obligations and to Wednesbury-type unreasonableness; the officer need not give reasons and cross-examination is unnecessary unless clearly required for fair disposal; the best interests of a citizen child must be considered but do not convert s 177 review into a full proportionality/correctness inquiry.
