Pelling v Head of Civil Appeals: CA 9 May 2006

The applicant sought to have overturned an injunction made in children proceedings for the discharge of an injunction preventing publication of matters relating to a child application from 1994. The court replied that the injunction stood discharged, and therefore declined to issue the proceedings. Dr Pelling sought judicial review of that refusal. The court said that an alternative remedy still lay open to him.
Held: The officer who had declined to issue proceedings was qualified and authorised to do so and had made the correct decision.
