Public Bodies Bill [Lords]

Proceeding contribution from Charlie Elphicke (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 29 November 2011. It occurred during Debate on bills on Public Bodies Bill [Lords].
I thank the hon. Gentleman for giving way again. He is being typically generous and kind. Judicial review is not a form of appeal. Sometimes it is used as collateral challenge, but it is not a form of appeal. It is used when there has been a procedural irregularity. The key message must be that the whole point of the coroner system is to get closure so that people can move on with their lives. A person has to get leave to apply for judicial review, and they must show that there has been some procedural irregularity or proper grounds for that kind of action to be taken.
