Description
The definitive text on the law of judicial review in Ireland, Judicial Review covers the grounds for review, defences to an application, remedies and procedures, including SI 691/2011 and SI 345/2015. It includes cases such as Article 40 inquiries (habeas corpus applications) and references to the Court of Justice of the European Union under Article 267 TFEU.
It discusses the reasonableness and proportionality of administrative decisions, particularly in light of the Supreme Court decision in Meadows v Minister for Justice, and more recently, MK (Albania) v Minister for Justice. It also covers a court's approach to 'deference' in respect of a public act and the circumstances where a court might decline to exercise its discretion in judicial review, including the obligation for candour.
The Fourth Edition has been updated to include the significant Court of Appeal determination in Heaney v an Bord Pleanála [2022] IECA 123 where it was confirmed that, for the purposes of time limits, the clock is stopped by moving the application in court and not by filing papers in the Central Office. It also covers the Supreme Court determination in Zalewski v Workplace Relations Commission. Statutory changes to the international protection process have been commenced since the previous edition.
This edition has been rewritten to take account of changes to statutory judicial reviews brought about by the commencement of the International Protection Act 2015. It also includes the removal of the expedited appeal procedure for a refusal of the grant of leave to apply for judicial review.
The Refugee Act 1996 has been repealed and the list of decisions and orders subject to section 5 of the Illegal Immigrants (Trafficking) Act 2000 (statutory JR) is replaced by way of the International Protection Act 2015.
This title is included in Bloomsbury Professional's Irish Civil Litigation online service.
