Rockall v Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs; [2008] WLR (D) 227
“It was not possible for the court to provide an all-embracing test of what constituted a ‘garden’ in the context of the Forestry Act 1967. To attempt to do so might impede the flexibility inherent in the statute by imposing too rigorous a straitjacket. In determining whether or not land constituted a garden, it was important to have regard to use of the land by the occupier as well as its appearance and condition.”

“A foreign student who wanted an extension of stay had to be able to produce evidence of satisfactory progress, whether on the course named in his application for entry clearance or on another recognised course which he had undertaken. A failure to sit or to pass relevant examinations would always be material to the evaluation of the student’s progress, but whether it was decisive would depend on the reason for it.”

That also applied where the connected person provisions in s 239 were not satisfied but there was still actual wrongdoer control by which there had been a diversion of assets to persons associated with the wrongdoer, albeit not connected in the sense provided by s 239(4).”
