About
The Centre for Public Law will be holding a seminar on the application for Judicial Review - 30 years on. The seminar will take place at 6.30pm on the 7th May at the offices of Clifford Chance in London (10 Upper Bank Street).
The 30th anniversary of the coming into force of the RSC Order 53 and the creation of the application for judicial review provides an ideal opportunity to reflect on its development. The seminar will look at the following themes:
-Where we have come from - looking at why the procedure was introduced and how its use has changed, for example, with procedural exclusivity, standing and the scope of review.
-The mechanics of judicial review - looking at the current trends in its use, such as the number of applications, the types of cases using the application and the success rate, and the role of legal aid.
-The application and tactics - looking at the impact of the application on litigation tactics and the main challenges faced under the application process with particular regard to the changes made by CPR Part 54.
-Where we are going - looking at future developments in the application for review, such as managing the rising caseload and the role of the Administrative Court.
Confirmed speakers include: Richard Clayton QC (39 Essex Street), The Hon Mr Justice Collins (Royal Courts of Justice), Richard Gordon QC (Brick Court Chambers) and Professor Maurice Sunkin (University of Essex). The Rt. Hon Lady Justice Arden DBE (Royal Courts of Justice) will be chairing the sessions.
