Judicial Review Handbook

Established as an essential part of the library of any practitioner engaged in UK public law cases, the Judicial Review Handbook offers unrivaled coverage of UK administrative law, including, but not confined to, the work of the Administrative Court and its procedures. But as anyone who has used the previous editions will acknowledge, it is much more than that. The completely revised and updated fifth edition is once again structured around 63 unique legal principles supported by a compendious compilation of sources and an unequalled selection of reported case quotations. It also includes essential procedural rules, forms, and guidance issued by the Administrative Court. This edition builds on previous editions with deepened coverage of the impact on judicial review of both the UK's Civil Procedure Rules and the Human Rights Act 1998 which, at the time of the previous edition, were both new arrivals in English law. Their impact, and the plethora of cases which explore their meaning and application are fully analyzed and evaluated. Quotations from the cases are incorporated into the unique appendices of case extracts. Author Michael Fordham, a leading member of the English public law bar, was the Human Rights Lawyer of the Year 2005 and winner of the Bar Pro Bono Award 2006.
