The college which catered principally for foreign students challenged the removal of its licence to carry out its own assessment of students for the issue of visa letters. The licences has been suspended after the respondent was concerned at the numbers of students who had enrolled but then not attended. They said the college had failed in its capacity as a licensed sponsor, in, amongst other things, failing to notify the respondent on non-enrolments and non-attendances. The claimant argued that the scheme created objectives, not specific duties.
Held: The claimants’ arguments were viable, and leave to bring judicial review was given. The balance of convenience lay in continuing the licences on an interim basis pending a full trial of the actions.
