Consultation description

The Department proposes that there should be no requirement to bring judicial review proceedings promptly in any case and that all proceedings should, rather, be required to be brought within three months of the date of the reviewed decision.

It considers that this change will “provide a greater degree of certainty to the judicial review process and ensure continued compliance with obligations arising from EU law”.
