The applicants (members of the band 'Status Quo') sought judicial review of a decision of the respondent to exclude their music from Radio 1 playlists. Held: There was no sufficient evidence of a decision of the sort alleged, and therefore no grounds for judicial review. There were in any event parallel private law proceedings where these issues could be and should be raised and resolved.

Woolf LJ MR
Immigration, Constitutional, Natural Justice, Judicial Review
The nature of the Secretary of State's objections and a chance to reply are to be given if the Secretary intends to deny an application for naturalisation. Administrative convenience cannot justify unfairness. The court deprecated 'fishing expeditons' by those seeking a judicial review.
Woolf LJ MR said: "on an application for judicial review there is usually no [disclosure] because [disclosure] should be unnecessary because it is the obligation of the [defendant] public body in its evidence to make fresh disclosure to the court of the decision-making process."
