Juma Palani has been granted High Court permission to proceed with a judicial review of the State’s decision to stop his jobseeker’s and disability allowances. The case was adjourned to January.

Palani seeks to quash decisions disallowing his allowance claims and seeking repayment of money paid under the schemes. He also seeks declarations that the State had no proper basis to infer he engaged in criminal activity and breached his procedural rights. Palani claims no supporting evidence has been produced.
