Criminal Justice and Courts Bill

Proceeding contribution from Kate Green (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 24 February 2014. It occurred during Debate on bills on Criminal Justice and Courts Bill.

Does my hon. Friend agree that the Lord Chancellor is completely missing the point, as the majority of judicial review cases involve individuals—disabled people, people with learning difficulties, children and other vulnerable people—who are having to challenge inappropriate state decisions, in a situation where there is huge inequality of bargaining power? Portraying judicial review as being about campaign groups prosecuting an agenda is simply a misrepresentation of what it is predominantly about.
