The Ministry of Justice (MoJ) is to reform the judicial review process in an attempt to reduce the number of “weak or ill-conceived cases” the Government says are clogging up courts, with the news greeted with a sceptical response from the legal profession.
In today’s announcement, Justice Secretary Chris Grayling said: “Judicial Review is an important way to hold authorities to account and ensure decisions are lawful. However there has been a huge growth in the use of judicial review, far beyond what was originally intended.”
