The applicant sought a judical review of a decision to continue with a scheme for recruitment of junior doctors after modification.
Held: The decision making process was a mess. Nevertheless, where the decision at issue involved the balancing of public policy issues in a context involving specialist knowledge, the court had to beware of adopting the role itself of policy maker. The more the deceision appeared to be one of policy, the less likely it was that the court could find an abuse of power.
