   ...the following passage from the judgment of Lord Halsbury LC in Sharp v Wakefield: 8 … when it is said that something is to be done within the discretion of the authorities … that something is to be done according to the rules of reason and justice, not according to private opinion … according to law, and not humour.

   ...forum to assess the FENZ determination (and it is not), I am unable to place weight on the evidence of KI, Electrical Inspector of X Ltd on the cause of the fire.
