IN THE COURT OF APPEAL OF SEYCHELLES
Judicial Review of a decision of the Town and Planning Country Authority, where permission for a change of use of building was refused on the basis of cancellation of a lease over the property. Petitioner argued that the said refusal was unjustified, illegal disproportionate, and/or unreasonable and was reached in a procedurally improper manner.
Held: that the decision was not reached in a procedurally proper manner. The purported cancellation was irrelevant for the purposes of the consideration of the application. The Respondent erred in coming to a decision based on a purported cancellation of the lease without giving the Petitioner an opportunity to be heard.
A writ of certiorari quashing the Respondent's decision was issued.
