R (Bhatt Murphy (a firm)) v Independent Assessor; R (Niazi) v Secretary of State for the Home Department [2008] EWCA Civ 755, [2008] All ER (D) 127 (Jul)
The mere existence of a discretionary scheme for compensation to the victims of miscarriages of justice did not create the conditions necessary to establish a legitimate expectation that the scheme would be continued. It followed that the Secretary of State was entitled to withdraw it without notice or consultation.
