LNB news: MOJ announces Judicial Review and Courts Bill introduction to parliament

The Ministry of Justice (MOJ) has announced the introduction of the Judicial Review and Courts Bill to parliament on 21 July 2021
Lexis®Library update: This Bill is expected to equip judges with the tools to give more tailored solutions in judicial review cases as well as create a better balance between the rights of citizens to challenge executive decisions through judicial review and the need for effective government.

Measures provided in this new Bill will ‘allow the courts to delay the time it takes for their orders to come into force, allowing parties time to prepare’, reduce the impact on third parties who have relied on a power that the courts deem unlawful and remove the inefficient ‘Cart’ judicial reviews which can create unnecessary delay including in immigration and asylum cases and introduce a range of steps to improve court processes.

The government's response to the consultation on Judicial Review Reform has also been published.
