Judicial review in commercial cases is a growing area in which distinct principles, considerations and hurdles are emerging. This book looks at the ambit and availability of judicial review in respect of commercial decisions, and at the particular considerations which are emerging in commercial cases. It also outlines the benefits and pitfalls of using judicial review as an alternative to pursuing an action in private law.

An introduction to the development and scope of commercial judicial review is followed by a detailed examination of case law and guidance on procedure.
