The expression “person aggrieved” (or its equivalent "aggrieved person") is commonly used in legislation for the purpose of identifying those legally entitled to contest a particular judicial or administrative decision. The quoted expression is generally understood to refer to any person, other than “[…]a mere busybody who is interfering in things which do not concern him […]”, who has a genuine legal grievance because an order or decision has been made that affects his or her interests in a prejudicial manner (see Attorney-General of the Gambia v. N’Jie, [1961] 2 All E.R. 504, at 511, P.C.). It is also generally accepted that the expression, in its ordinary sense, is broad enough to include a party to proceedings, such as Co-op in the case at bar, whose rights are directly and prejudicially affected by an order or decision.
