If government decisions are overturned for Wednesbury irrationality and Wednesbury irrationality requires that no sane person could have arrived at the decision

If government decisions are overturned for Wednesbury irrationality and Wednesbury irrationality requires that no sane person could have arrived at the decision, does the court imply that the government is run by insane persons?

- SEMW 9y agoHeh. I think they tend to phrase it ".. so as to appear to have taken leave of [their] senses", to leave open the possibility of sanity :) http://www.uniset.ca/other/cs6/2001EWCACiv789.html http://www.uniset.ca/other/cs6/2001EWCACiv789.html is a good example of a case where a government decision was overturned on Wednesbury irrationality grounds.
