Perhaps you didn't hear my question. The question specifically was: can you confirm that the judicial review is limited to matters of law and is not a merits review—in other words, that it is not possible to challenge the decision of a minister to issue a temporary exclusion order based on the merits of his or her decision, as opposed to challenging it on the question of whether or not the minister has lawfully made that decision?
