This text provides a logical analysis of the remedy of judicial review from the practitioner's viewpoint. The new edition contains numerous case law developments since the last edition in 1985. The second edition aims to answer the questions that a trained lawyer would ask, in the order he would ask them. It proceeds by describing the remedy; analyzing the general basis of review; setting out a brief description of the range of orders available; analyzing the status of the applicant and respondent on judicial review applications; describing the procedure through preliminary applications for leave, interlocutory procedure and the final hearing. Selected areas of practice where judicial review predominates are analyzed. This book should be of interest to solicitors, barristers, justices, councils, public bodies, government departments and students.
