The university was concerned at the way it saw the students’ union being run, and imposed a constitution which resulted in the claimants being dismissed.

Two applicants sought review of the imposition of the new disciplinary procedures. They had shown no unfairness, and no longer being students had no further proper interest in the management of the Union’s affairs.
