The Attorney-General of The Gambia -v- N'Jie [1961] UKPC 19; [1961] AC 617
3 May 1961
PC
Radcliffe, Denning and Guest LL
Commonwealth, Judicial Review
(West Africa) Lord Denning said: "The words ‘person aggrieved’ are of wide import and should not be subjected to a restrictive interpretation. They do not include, of course, a mere busybody who is interfering in things which do not concern him; but they do include a person who has a genuine grievance because an order has been made which prejudicially affects his interests."

CA
Lord Denning MR
Judicial Review, Immigration
The plaintiffs were two scientology students present under permits for a limited stay as students. They sought extensions of the permits. The government had meanwhile decided that scientology was socially harmful, and steps would be taken to curb its growth. The applications were rejected. The students issues writs seeking a declaration that the respondents decision to reject all such applications was void and unlawful. They appealed an order striking out their claim as an abuse. Held: No reasonable cause of action had been disclosed. The respondent had ample power under the order to refuse admission to aliens, and that power had been exercised fairly and in the pursuit of a policy deemed valid and in the interests of society. There was no obligation to give reasons for refusing entry of an extension of a right to stay. No question of natural justice arose. Denning MR: The Home Secretary may announce a blanket policy provided he was ready in exceptional cases to listen to argument as to why the policy should not be applied.
