The claimants said that changes to the Highy Skilled Migrant Programme were unfairly introduced, that they had effectively barred non-EU doctors from applying for first tier doctor appointments, and that the guidance could properly be derived only from powers under the 1971 Act. The respondent denied that the rules came under the 1971 Act, being rather a matter of employment guidance only.
Held: The guidance was not universal in effect and the claim was rejected. An important evidential element in the demonstration of the discharge of the duty is the recording of the steps taken by the decision maker in seeking to meet the statutory requirements
