Government plans to go further than Lord Faulks’ review recommendations face fierce scrutiny from lawyers, with the impact on social care and court jurisdiction under the spotlight
Widespread relief that the panel tasked with conducting an independent review of administrative law did not recommend wholesale reform of judicial review proved short-lived when the lord chancellor revealed that the report was just a ‘starting point’. It quickly became apparent that the government wants to go much further than Lord Faulks’ recommendations.
Lawyers and others have been given only six weeks to respond to the government’s wide-ranging consultation (more on that later). Nevertheless, judging by the reaction to two of Faulks’ recommendations that the government is keen to pursue immediately, Robert Buckland can expect robust responses before the consultation closes on Thursday.
