The applicants, a husband and wife, applied for judicial review of decisions denying a study permit and an open work permit.
The officer found the study plan vague and the origin of funds unclear, and relied on general political and economic conditions in Iran.
The Court found the officer's reasons regarding the funds lacked intelligibility and that the study plan finding ignored evidence.
The Court held the study permit decision was unreasonable, and consequently, the open work permit decision, which depended on the study permit, was also unreasonable.
The applications for judicial review were allowed and remitted for redetermination.
