Written by three experienced practitioners, this definitive work provides unrivalled analysis and guidance on the law of judicial review.

Updated with the most relevant and recent case law, this new edition of Judicial Review: Principles and Procedure includes chapters on each of the substantive and procedural grounds on which a claim for judicial review may be brought, including topics such as fairness, consultation, proportionality, and legitimate expectation. It offers detailed treatment of areas such as the public sector equality duty, challenges to administrative policies, challenges to legislation, and common law constitutional rights. The book contains comprehensive coverage of the procedure at each stage of a claim for judicial review, from the pre-action stage to the permission stage and interim remedies, through to the substantive stage, final remedies, and costs. Newly added to this edition are a comprehensive guide to post-Brexit UK-EU Relations Law contributed by Jack Williams, and a guide to the use of international law in judicial review contributed by Sean Aughey-both of which ensure that the book provides a uniquely full treatment of all of the issues which might be encountered in practice.

The volume's accessible format allows readers easily to access the law on specific points, making it an indispensable reference for barristers, solicitors, public sector organisations, and legal libraries.
