"refusing to 'backdate' the DP"? Can they do that.
As far as I know, it is accepted that Hinchy has no application to LA's. Hinchy turned on the idea that it was not possible to not disclose a fact which the SoS already knew. An LA does not come within the jurisdiction of the SoS so the argument does not apply, but I am not sure you need it anyway.
Isn't the LA's decision made in ignorance of a material fact and therefore open to revision?
