High Court strikes out judicial review proceedings seeking a mandatory order to compel the Minister for Justice to decide on a naturalisation application, finding the action premature as the applicant had not provided all necessary documentation at the time of filing. The court highlighted that a properly completed vetting authorisation form was outstanding, and concerns regarding the validity of a submitted passport warranted further time for the Minister's consideration. The court also proposed that no costs order should be made, noting the applicant's illness during the relevant period and subsequent reasonable conduct.
