Supreme Court dismisses appeal from High Court, and affirms refusal to grant judicial review of a decision by the Minister for Justice to deport a Pakistani national, on the grounds that: (a) the Minister had not applied an incorrect test concerning the applicant's employment prospects, and had correctly stated that the Minister was under no obligation to grant permission to work in the State; but (b) if the case had been one in which the Minister's decision should have been quashed, the conduct of the applicant - including breach of duty of candour - had not been such to justify refusing relief, in that such discretion should only be used 'sparingly and in a cautious manner'.
