The appeallant having been found guilty in professional disciplinary proceedings sought to appeal, but was refused by the defendant saying that it had no discretion to extend the time for an appeal.
Held: The Institute exercised its disciplinary jurisdiction for the public as a whole and not merely as part of a contractual relationship with its members. The plaintiff’s action should therefore have been begun as a public law matter under judicial review, and not as a private contractual duispute.
