Judicial Review: Questions of Jurisdiction and Appropriate Forum

Abstract

2. This article considers the various factors that inform the forum within which proceedings for judicial review can or ought to be brought. It primarily considers matters of jurisdiction between the courts of England & Wales on the one hand and the courts of Scotland on the other. This article is not concerned with proceedings for judicial review that are heard in the Upper Tribunal and nor is it concerned with the provisions of CPR r 7.1A and 7.1B in relation to claims against Welsh public bodies having to be issued and heard in Wales.
