Consideration 3

Extract:

The Tribunal finds that the impugned decision in the present case is an administrative decision which adversely affects the complainants and does not require any implementing measure. As the decision to amend the MBF Rules was found to be unlawful and the amendments to be of no force or effect, the impugned decision stemming from those amendments is unlawful and must be set aside.
