The applicant had been granted leave to enter the UK as a student. He challenged by way of review a decision to curtail that leave. He had taken part time work.

Chapter 4 of Annex A of the Statement was in effect a standing order allowing a student to work part time when construed according to its natural meaning. It was not possible to construe the words to read that the permission to work was dependent upon satisfactory attendance as a student.
