LNB news: House of Lords provides update on examination of judicial review

The House of Lords Library has updated its briefing examining judicial review

Lexis®Library update: The briefing covers the government's plan for judicial review, recent case law and why the review will be beneficial for the government. The government launched the Independent Review of Administrative Law (IRAL) in July 2020, which will determine whether the judicial review process requires reforming. The IRAL held a call for evidence from 7 September 2020 to 26 October 2020 and in December 2020, the Justice Secretary, Robert Buckland, stated that once the IRAL is complete, the government will emerge with its proposals in spring 2021.
