LH v Al Faisal College Limited

The case of LH v Al Faisal College Limited involved a dispute between a parent, LH, and a private Islamic college, Al Faisal College Limited, regarding the termination of their child's enrolment at the college. The dispute was brought before the court seeking interlocutory relief to prevent the college from enforcing the termination. The plaintiff, LH, argued that there was a serious question to be tried and that the balance of convenience favoured the grant of an injunction.

The primary legal issues for the court to decide were whether there was a serious question to be tried and whether the balance of convenience favoured the grant of an interlocutory injunction. The court considered the nature of the dispute, the potential harm to the child if the injunction was granted, and the rights of the college to manage its enrolment policies. The plaintiff argued that the child's enrolment at the college was crucial for their education and well-being, while the college maintained that the termination was justified under their enrolment policies.

The court held that while the plaintiff had raised a serious question to be tried regarding the termination of the child's enrolment, the balance of convenience did not favour the grant of an interlocutory injunction. The court found that the potential harm to the child of being removed from the college was significant, but this was balanced against the college's right to enforce its enrolment policies. The court concluded that the plaintiff had not demonstrated that the balance of convenience clearly favoured the grant of an injunction. As a result, the court refused to grant the interlocutory relief sought by the plaintiff.
