In spite of this call for a more liberal approach, a restrictive view was adopted in the High Court in R v Secretary of State for the Environment, ex parte Rose Theatre Trust Co Ltd [1990] 1 QB 504. The Rose Theatre Trust Co Ltd was formed to act as an interest group, campaigning to have an archaeological site 'listed' and protected by the government as an ancient monument. The relevant minister had refused to do so. The group consisted of people with expertise in archaeology, the theatre, literature, and other fields, and also included local councillors and an MP. Schiemann J distilled eight propositions from the Fleet Street Casuals case and held that an individual will only have standing if the statute gives the individual, expressly or impliedly, a greater right or expectation than any other citizen to have that decision taken lawfully. None of the members of the company had this in his view. Individuals who did not have standing would not gain it just because they formed themselves into a group or a company. Therefore, the company was not given standing to challenge the minister's refusal to grant the listing.
