Availability of an efficacious statutory appeal and exhaustion of alternative remedy was held decisive against writ jurisdiction: post-decisional hearing under the Regulation satisfies audi alteram partem and absence of pre-hearing did not amount to jurisdictional breach, so writ relief was inappropriate.
