Conclusions
CONCLUSION
The appeal is dismissed. The conclusions in the Arup Review were not so obviously material to the decision that the Secretary of State had to take in this case that it was irrational not to have taken them into account.
LADY JUSTICE ELISABETH LAING
I agree.
LADY JUSTICE ANDREWS
I also agree.
