Judicial Review: proposals for further reform.
Inclusion London is seriously concerned that several of the government’s proposals set out in the consultation will jeopardise basic rights. Read Inclusion London’s response.
Inclusion London agrees with the government that judicial review is a ‘critical check on the power of the State, providing an effective mechanism for challenging the decisions, acts or omission of public bodies to ensure that they are lawful.
The rule of law and access to justice for all are central tenants of a democratic, civilised society. However, Inclusion London is seriously concerned that several of the government’s proposals set out in the consultation will jeopardise these basic rights. Particularly the proposals to change the rules on ‘standing’, the proposal to use methods other than judicial review for resolving Public Sector Equality Duty (PSED) disputes and several of the proposals under ‘Rebalancing Financial Incentives’.
