The third edition of this renowned text offers a comprehensive exploration of the purposes of judicial review, the nature of the public-private divide in Northern Ireland law, the judicial review procedure, the grounds for review, and remedies. Similar to its predecessors, the book emphasizes case law specific to Northern Ireland, highlighting notable differences between principles and practices in Northern Ireland and England and Wales. These differences, particularly in the context of the Ireland-Northern Ireland Protocol (as amended by the Windsor Framework), are thoroughly explained, along with the continued application of EU law in Northern Ireland. Additionally, the book examines significant Human Rights Act decisions made by the Northern Ireland courts and the House of Lords and UK Supreme Court. The third edition incorporates case law from the courts in England and Wales, Scotland, the Court of Justice of the European Union, and the European Court of Human Rights. It pays particular attention to recent rulings of the High Court and Court of Appeal in Northern Ireland, as well as the Supreme Court's decisions in cases appealed from Northern Ireland. It also considers the Judicial Review Practice Direction 03-2018 and the implications of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018, including the incorporation of the Ireland-Northern Ireland Protocol, as amended by the Windsor Framework, in Northern Ireland. This book will be invaluable to practitioners in Northern Ireland and the rest of the UK, as well as to those interested in studying judicial reasoning across different jurisdictions, both within the UK and internationally.
