Facts of the Case

Background

The appellant was issued an offer letter for a farm in 2013. Over several years, the respondent issued multiple notices of intention to withdraw the offer on various grounds. In 2022, the respondent finally withdrew the offer letter. The appellant requested written reasons for the withdrawal but received none, leading him to file a review application which was dismissed by the High Court.
