Judicial review is a continually evolving area of law. Rarely does a day go by when the daily case law updating services do not carry at least one judicial review case summary. In such a dynamic area it is important that there are good up-to-date books for practitioners.

Judicial Review: A Practical Guide is designed to be a handbook which, as it says on the back cover “will serve as the first port of call in all matters concerning judicial review applications”. At 217 pages of main text, it admirably summarises the principles and does so in a very clear and practical way. For example, a trap for the unwary is to assume that there is a simple three-month time limit for commencing proceedings.
