Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

General Scheme of the Planning and Development Bill 2022: Discussion (Resumed)

Ms Rachel Minch:

When we refer to satellite litigation, we are thinking about when a judicial review has started and getting bogged down in satellite litigation on preliminary issues. Those are the key areas in which see those difficulties. There is also the right of appeal point we raised. More generally, because this is such an extensive new piece of legislation, there is a lot of devil in the detail. Unless we get this right, any change in legislation is going to potentially give rise to more litigation.
