Strickland v Hayes Borough Council (1896)

Aylebury Mushroom Case (1972)
- The Minister of Labour had to consult any organisation representative of substantial numbers of employers engaging in the activity concerned
- His failure to consult the Mushroom Growers' Association (which represented about 88% of all mushroom growers) meant that his order establishing a training board was substantive ultra vires, therefore it was invalid
R v Secretary of State for Education and Employment ex parte National Union of Teachers (2000)
- A high court judge ruled that a statutory instrument setting conditions for appraisal and access to higher rates of pay for teachers was beyond the powers given under the Education Act 1996
- In addition, the procedure used was unfair as only four days had been allowed for consultation
