R (White) v Crown Court at Blackfriars [2008] EWHC 510 (Admin)

A claim for judicial review (see below) was made because an appeal by way of case stated would be out of time.

HELD The court should be slow to entertain an application for judicial review as an alternative to an appeal by way of case stated just because the time limit for an appeal has been missed, even if the fault lies with the claimant’s solicitors rather than with the claimant personally.

There may be cases where judicial review is, however, appropriate, in particular to avoid a serious injustice.
