 Where the improper purpose is not of such material influence, the authority may be held to be acting within its lawful discretion.Hence in "R v Broadcasting Complaints Commission, ex parte Owen" [1985] QB 1153, the broadcasting authority refused to consider a complaint that a political party has been given too little broadcasting time mainly for good reasons, but also with some irrelevant considerations, which however were not of material influence on the decision.An authority will be acting unreasonably where it refuses to hear applications or makes certain decisions without taking individual circumstances into account by reference to a certain policy.
