Mr. Gavin Lawlor:

Everybody is focusing on the fact that SHD has led to this significant burst in judicial reviews. While it has, they only represent about 50% to 60% of the judicial reviews. There is still a significant growth in judicial reviews outside SHDs. It is not exclusive to SHDs, and now developers are getting in on the game as well; they are pursuing judicial reviews in respect of development plans. That is what I mean by saying the scope of judicial reviews should perhaps be narrowed, which might help the debate. The principles that were espoused 30 years ago in respect of judicial review were about administrative and procedural errors that were made in the planning application process. They were not about planning issues. More recently-----
