Our response to the call for evidence from the Independent Review of Administrative Law Panel

The Independent Review of Administrative Law (IRAL) panel recently invited the submission of evidence on how well or effectively judicial review balances the legitimate interest in citizens being able to challenge the  lawfulness of executive action with the role of the executive in carrying on the business of government, both locally and centrally.

Our response emphasises the important role of judicial review in ensuring good governance and that decisions which affect some of the most vulnerable members of society are made in compliance with basic standards of good administrative decision making.
