The government and lobbyists know this. They pretend the opposite is true. #JudicialReview.

Prof. Ryall said it was necessary to “take a lot of heat out” of current discussions. Greater resourcing of public authorities and the judiciary so they could do their job in a more timely way would help, she said. #AccessToJustice #AarhusConvention #JudicialReview #Oversight

“Having a ruling from a panel of three judges is a desperate attempt to create a veneer of judicial authority in support of the actions of Keir Starmer's outlaw government”

“The case is now being heard by a panel of 3 judges — all reportedly Israel supporters. At least two of them have family links to the arms trade, & one has already ruled that the govt can continue to supply spares for Israeli strike aircraft [..] slaughtering thousands of Palestinians”

#London today: #MetropolitanPolice #MetPol bravely arrest some of the #DefendOurJuries #terrorists attacking the #RoyalCourtsOfJustice. The women & #pensioners sat with signs "I oppose #genocide. I support #PalestineAction".

Inside the #HighCourt, brave officials had replaced the judge with 3 new judges, 2 known to be supporters of repression. To ensure justice, part of the #JudicialReview hearing will be in #secretcourt, without the founder of #PalestineActìon or her lawyer.

“The removal of judge Michael Chamberlain has led to accusations of a ‘stitch-up’. The government is artfully sidestepping a judicial review which could overturn the Israel-driven proscription of a non-violent anti-genocide protest group”

Meanwhile the Government wants to restrict judicial oversight here at home. Why might that be? #JudicialReview

Ireland's government agreed to these laws long ago, then broke their promise to abide by them. Btw they now want to restrict people's right to make them answerable to the Court. Bit concerning? #RuleOfLaw #JudicialReview

“If the Government were confident in its planning decisions, it would welcome judicial scrutiny rather than fear it.” #Oversight #Accountability #JudicialReview

Sir, – The Government’s proposed emergency planning legislation includes plans to restrict judicial review and to reduce cost protections in environmental cases (“Government seeks emergency planning powers to speed up infrastructure delivery,” November 1st). Yet the Irish Academy of Engineers’ report “Rebalancing Ireland’s Energy Policy”, published this week, identifies the real obstacles to infrastructure delivery as conflicting policy targets, lack of policy clarity and tardiness in policy delivery rather than judicial review.

While Ministers point the finger at judicial review, just 5.3 per cent of An Coimisiún Pleanála decisions were challenged this year. The academy’s findings expose the Government’s scapegoating. Instead of addressing the systemic failures in policy co-ordination and delivery, Ministers are choosing to restrict Irish citizens’ constitutional right to hold public authorities to account.

Judicial review exists precisely because public bodies make errors that require correction. When An Coimisiún Pleanála fails to follow proper procedures, as repeated judicial reviews demonstrate, the answer is not to silence citizens but to ensure the authority is properly resourced and capable of competent decision-making.

The proposed cost restrictions are particularly cynical. Removing cost protections turns justice into a privilege that only the wealthy can afford, effectively silencing community groups and environmental advocates who lack the resources of powerful

They matter but may not suffice, without accompanying human stories. #imo #JudicialReview #RuleOfLaw #Power

"When history judges us, it won’t ask how “agile” we were. It will ask who we housed, who we fed, who we sheltered, who we lifted up when the lift got stuck. That’s the only kind of fast that matters." - Colin Sheridan www.irishexaminer.com/opinion/colu... #Ireland #judicialreview #planning

The attack on judicial oversight is spreading to Ireland. Judicial review of how executive power is used is a keystone of our Constitutional system. It is natural that some do not welcome scrutiny. That does not justify making them unaccountable if they break the law. #JudicialReview #law

Court of Appeal allows judicial review of Palestine Action ban

The UK government has failed to prevent the judicial review of its decision to ban Palestine Action under terrorism laws. The Court of Appeal ruled that the co-founder of Palestine Action, Huda Ammori, can challenge the ban in the High Court next month, bypassing the slower internal Home Office appe... [More info]

This week, Minister Chambers insisted that the VAT cut would allow tens of thousands of apartments that ALREADY have planning permission, but are not being built, could proceed to construction. Get your story straight lads. #judicialreview #law #power
