The jockey claimant challenged a decision of the defendant’s predecessor as the body responsible for regulating horse racing.
Held: Davis J said: ‘it is well established that a decision of a body such as the HRA cannot be challenged by judicial review proceedings. But it is equally well established that the High Court retains a supervisory jurisdiction over such decisions, and the approach to be adopted is essentially that which the Administrative Court would adopt in public law cases.’
