Dowland v The Architects Registration Board: Admn 19 Apr 2013

Te clamant had lost his request to be re-instated to the register of architects. He appealed saying that the respondent was limited, when asked such a question, to considering issues of competence. He had been made bankrupt, and found to havesold land at an undervalue in a attempt to defeat his creditors.
Held: The appeal failed. The Board was not limited in the way suggested. It had a wide discretion, though that discretion had to be used in a judicial and reasonable manner.
