The Wislang Case

This is the full report of R v Medical Appeal Tribunal ex parte Gilmore [1957] C.A. in word searchable PDF format. The case concerned the applicability of certiorari for error of law on the face of the record, and the directing by the court for completion of the record in tribunal proceedings. In his judgment, Denning MR delivers perhaps his most famous dictum on the supervision of higher courts of tribunals which make decisions outside their jurisdiction.
