Ex parte Worth: 1985

The giving of leave to bring a judicial review case did not equate to an extension of time to make the application. The judge’s task on the ex parte application was to do no more than to decide that there was an arguable case for judicial review and not to ‘determine any issue finally in favour of the applicant.’ and ‘In short I conclude, while recognising that the conclusion does not follow inevitably from the express wording of the rules in the Act (sic) that the granting of leave to move does not preclude the respondent from objecting that the application has been made out of time.’
