What is the test for "a person aggrieved" in the law of England and Wales?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from College of Dental Surgeons v. Dr. Findlay, 2000 BCSC 1311 (CanLII):
However, the law of England has changed since then. That narrow interpretation of "a person aggrieved" is no longer accepted. The tide began to turn with the judgment of the Lord Denning in Attorney General of the Gambia v. N'Jie, [1961] 2 All E.R. 504, where, at p. 511, he said: The words "person aggrieved" are of wide import and should not be subjected to a restrictive interpretation. They do not include, of course, a mere busy body who is interfering in things which do not concern him; but they do include a person who has a genuine grievance because an order has been made which prejudicially affects his interests.
