The college sought judicial review of regulations which precluded it from using in its title the name ‘university’ pending a appropriate order made in the Privy Council. The two name changes within a short period would cause great loss. The conditions which would have allowed non-interruption were impossible to meet. Reference was made to parliamentary materials to see the basis of the regulations issued. The prohibition was to follow the procedure for approval after a reasonable time. The appellant argued that there was a substantive unfairness, even though there was no legitimate expectation created, but the test was still strict, and had not been met.
