Immigration – Leave to remain. The claimant Turkish nationals sought judicial review of the defendant Secretary of State's decision to grant them three years' discretionary leave to remain in the United Kingdom, rather than indefinite leave to remain.

There could be no illegality in denying an entitlement to a decision any earlier, as no such entitlement had existed.
