These Rules amend Parts 52 and 54 of the Civil Procedure Rules 1998 (S.I. 1998/3132) to implement the proposals contained in the response to engagement exercise Judicial Review: Proposals for Reform(1) published by the Ministry of Justice on 23 April 2013.
These amendments—
reduce the time limits for filing a claim form for judicial review to six weeks in relation to a decision under the “planning acts” (the Town and Country Planning Act 1990, the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990, the Planning (Hazardous Substances) Act 1990 and the Planning (Consequential Provisions) Act 1990) and to 30 days in relation to a decision in a procurement regulated by the Public Contracts Regulations 2006; and
provide that where an application for judicial review is recorded as totally without merit under rule 23.12, the claimant will not be able to request an oral reconsideration of the refusal of permission and that any appeal of that decision is to the Court of Appeal on the papers only.
An impact assessment has been published and is available on the Ministry of Justice consultation website.
