AC-2024-LDS-000019 - [2025] EWHC 2940 (Admin)

This is a renewed application for permission to apply for judicial review, permission having been refused on the papers by HHJ Saffman sitting in retirement, by an order dated 12 September 2024 and sent to the parties on 19 September 2024.

The Claimant seeks judicial review of the decision of the Defendant, Leeds Trinity University (“the University”), to prevent him from participating in the Annual General Meeting of the Interested Party, the Leeds Trinity Student Union (“the Union”), on 11 March 2024 (“the AGM”).

The University and the Union are separate legal entities. The Claimant’s case is that the Union is a charity; and that only the University, and not the Union, is a public authority for the purpose of judicial review proceedings and the Human Rights Act 1998 (“the HRA”).
