JUDICIAL REVIEW
By Nicola Laver
The Law Society has proposed four reforms to help reduce the need for citizens to resort to the courts by way of judicial review. It called for improved access to legal aid; strengthening of the pre-court stage; strengthening the duty on public bodies to disclose information; and to bring back the right of appeal in immigration. President David Greene said judicial review 'must continue to have the teeth to provide a check on the misuse of executive power'. 26 October 2020
