Outcome

Own qualification-dispute / representation file fully disclosable; marks of comparably-placed candidates also permitted for fair challenge.

Ratio decidendi

Where a candidate is disqualified and raises a representation, they are entitled to the full file — their marks, evaluation rationale, and the representation-response. Marks of candidates at the same rank-bracket may also be provided (anonymised where required) to enable a fair challenge.
