Mulvenna and Smith v Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government and Equality and Human Rights Commission

摘要

80. My conclusions, in short, are as follows: (1) the judicial review applications of the Secretary of State's decisions to recover Ms Mulvenna and Mr Smith's appeals fail because they are late and there is no basis to extend time; (2) the Secretary of State does not have power to revoke the decisions he has made on these appeals; (3) those decisions on the appeals are not a nullity; and (4) Mr Smith's s.288 reasons challenge to the Secretary of State's decisions on his appeal fails.
