2. “[I]t seems to me that, unless the procedure adopted by the moving party
is ill suited to dispose of the question at issue, there is much to be said
in favour of the proposition that a court having jurisdiction ought to let a
case be heard rather than entertain a debate concerning the form of the
proceedings.” Per. Lord Lowry in Roy v. Kensington and Chelsea and
Westminster Family Practitioner Committee (1992).
In light of the observation above, analyse the extent to which the strict
distinction imposed by the decision of the House of Lords in O’Reilly v.
Mackman (1983) remains.

(a) The MSC banned the sale of ‘Wiltshire Honeyglaze’ ham and
ordered the closure of the factory and the destruction of all stocks
after a slightly raised level of bacteria that may cause food
poisoning was found in one small batch of the meat, but not any
of the other stock. Adam, the owner of the factory that produces
‘Wiltshire Honeyglaze’ is aggrieved by this decision.
(b) Mirza owns a factory that produces cooked chicken products from
organic chickens. The MSC has a published policy banning all
cooked chicken products from organic chickens due to the
elevated risk of food poisoning. Mirza believes that his product is
not affected by the same food safety risks as other similar
products, but the MSC has refused to consider departing from its
policy.
(d) The MSC banned the sale of cooked beef from the ‘Newbold
Lodge’ factory. Philippa, the owner of the factory, has not been
given any reasons for the decision and the MSC has refused to
allow her to make representations.
