Judicial Review

Description
This new 6th edition of this work, is concerned with the impact of a range of new developments which have now more fully taken effect, rather than with their innovation. I have continued to undertake the editorship which I took over for the 4th edition from The Hon Mr Justice Supperstone, James Goudie QC and The Hon Mr Justice Walker. This edition comes at a point when the Human Rights Act 1998 has been in force for 17 years; it takes account of recent significant developments under that Act affecting judicial review due to thorough revision of CHAPTER 9, on proportionality, which was originally introduced as a new Chapter in the 4th edition. The chapter sets out to provide a rigorous analysis of how proportionality works, examining the way that UK judges have handled it in judicial review cases. CHAPTER 4, explaining the impact of the Act on judicial review, has been considerably revised in this edition to consider a number of recent significant cases on the relationship between the domestic courts and the Strasbourg Court, under the Act. Similarly, CHAPTER 21, dealing with devolution, has been revised to take account of a range of developments in that area over the last eight years, pointing out that the political sensitivities involved and the complexity of the devolution arrangements, have led to quite frequent resort to the courts by way of judicial review.
