What is Judicial Review?

Judicial review is a legal procedure by which a court reviews the lawfulness of a decision or action made by a public body.

Unlike an appeal, a Judicial Review does not reconsider the merits of the decision. Instead, it focuses solely on the legality of that decision. This means examining whether the decision was made in accordance with the law, whether the correct procedures were followed, and whether the decision was reasonable and fair.

Why is Judicial Review Important?

Judicial review serves as a check on the powers of public bodies, ensuring they act lawfully. It’s a mechanism for holding authorities accountable and provides individuals with a way to challenge decisions that may adversely affect their rights and interests.

Whether it’s a decision on immigration, social welfare, environmental issues, or planning permissions, judicial review offers a pathway to seek justice.
