Judicial Review and Appeals Process: Engagement with Courts Service

Ms Angela Denning:
It is a legal question but the leave applications, where you had leave on notice, could itself create a delay in the list. A lot of time could be spent dealing with the leave application and then you have to start all over again to hear the actual case. It is fine as long as the legal threshold for bringing a case into the list is clear. Over the years we have done experiments with leave on notice and leave ex parte where it is not on notice; and the leave on notice tended to add a little more delay into the system. We will have to wait until it is tested.
