Kate Osamor – 2015 Parliamentary Question to the Ministry of Justice

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Kate Osamor on 2015-12-02.

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what plans he has to reform judicial review.

Dominic Raab

The government has always been clear that judicial review, when used properly, is a crucial component of the rule of law.

But too often the system is open to abuse. That is why we have taken forward reform, such as the creation of the Planning Court, which we have implemented with the assistance of the judiciary, and the changes in the Criminal Justice and Courts Act 2015, which we are implementing. The reforms will speed up the process for people who have arguable grounds and a genuine case to put.
