Fellowship Lunchtime Lectures: Dr Joanna Bell
Event
This is Teddy Hall’s new online lunchtime lecture series which aims to highlight the incredible depth and breadth of research across the Teddy Hall Fellowship.
Speaker and Topic:
Dr Joanna Bell, ‘Judicial Review under Review’.
On 31 July the UK government announced that it was undertaking an ‘independent review of administrative law.’ The stated aim is to consider whether judicial review presently strikes the right balance ‘between the rights of citizens to challenge executive decisions and the need for effective and efficient government’.
A panel has been created, terms of reference put together and a call for evidence published. The panel’s report is expected by the end of the year. But what is judicial review and why does it matter? How did we get to the position where the review is thought necessary and where might we go next?
An hour is not a long time to probe these difficult questions. But even scratching the surface reveals a lot which is of interest to lawyers and non-lawyers alike. (Read the details of the IRAL panel’s work)
