ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE Proposed Changes to Judicial Review Judicial Review

摘要

Judicial review (JR) is a way for individuals or organisations to challenge decisions made by public bodies. For the purposes of environmental and planning law, those bodies would include local planning authorities (LPAs), government and regulatory bodies. The usual process is for proceedings to be issued by way of an application to the administrative court for permission for judicial review. If the court grants permission, then the case will be decided at a substantive hearing.
