R (on the application of Nyoni) v Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills [2015] EWHC 3533 (Admin), [2015] All ER (D) 61 (Dec)

The Administrative Court declared that the claimant’s personal circumstances had been such as to require the secretary of state to treat her case for a student loan under his interim policy as an exceptional one. However, the claimant had not been entitled to a loan under the policy and the interim policy was not unlawful, as in R (on the application of Tigere) v Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills (Just for Kids Law intervening) [2015] All ER (D) 304 (Jul).
