Balle v Commissioner of Police

Balle v Commissioner of Police is a case before the Court of Appeal in which the appellant, Mr Balle, challenges the decision of the District Court to revoke his firearm licence. Mr Balle's application to the District Court to review the decision of the Commissioner of Police to revoke his firearm licence was dismissed. The appeal to the Court of Appeal concerns the question of whether the District Court was correct to dismiss Mr Balle's application for review of the revocation of his firearm licence. The appeal raises two main issues. The first issue is whether the District Court was correct to find that Mr Balle's application was not made within the statutory time limit. The second issue is whether the District Court was correct to find that Mr Balle's application was not made within the statutory time limit, even if Mr Balle was unaware of the decision to revoke his firearm licence until some time later. The Court of Appeal found that the District Court was correct to find that Mr Balle's application was not made within the statutory time limit. The Court of Appeal found that the statutory time limit applied regardless of Mr Balle's lack of knowledge of the decision to revoke his firearm licence. The Court of Appeal found that the statutory time limit was a mandatory and jurisdictional requirement, which could not be waived by the court. The Court of Appeal found that Mr Balle's application was filed more than two months after the decision to revoke his firearm licence was made, and more than the statutory time limit of 28 days. The Court of Appeal found that the District Court was correct to dismiss Mr Balle's application for review of the revocation of his firearm licence. The decision under review is affirmed.
