Man challenges change to terms of competition for paramedic course places

A man has brought a High Court challenge over the decision to change the terms of a competition for places on a paramedic course in the Department of Defence.

Gordon Elder is seeking an order quashing the decision earlier this month of the Minister for Defence to set aside the results of the competition for places on the course and recommence the selection process. Mr Elder says had obtained a place under the previous competition which is due to commence on July 22.
