Judicial Review and Appeals Process: Engagement with Courts Service
2:00 am
Ms Angela Denning:
In the process we have those new rules; they are only a month old. They codified what the judges in the list were doing anyway but they need to be given a bit of time to bed in. From our perspective, the big one is resources to hear the case and then to get to that stage where the President of the High Court could allow judges out of court immediately after they hear a case to write their judgment and give the decision. That would really speed up that end of it. If the time limit is reduced, fewer people would strategically bring cases to delay developments.
