Judicial Review Update

About the Seminar:

The judicial review update seminar aims to provide an overview of the latest developments in the field of judicial review.  It will discuss developments relating both to judicial review procedure and the scope and grounds for judicial review.

The last few years have seen a large number of significant judicial review cases, in Scotland and elsewhere in the UK.  Some themes include the duty of candour in judicial review cases, the intensity of the court's scrutiny of challenged decisions, the scope of legitimate expectation claims and the rules relating to the lawfulness of policies.

And then there is continuing effect of EU law, by whichever name it is now called, which is likely to exercise the courts for some time to come.
