High Court dismisses a challenge by an aviation service provider against the Minister for Transport's alleged decision to modify a contract for aviation services, finding no credible evidence of any such decision or modification, the court finding that judicial review requires an actual decision by a respondent, and in this case, there was no action or decision to review, and the provider's claims were based on speculation and assumption rather than concrete evidence; and the court also noted that the existing contract includes a 'Change Control Procedure' for amendments, and as there was no indication this would not be followed, the proceedings were struck out as bound to fail.
