  • Time limits for Judicial Review

    Hi all,

    I am curious as the the what the time limits are for bringing a Judicial Review challenge against the Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman. I know the challenge needs to be brought as soon as possible and within 3 months, but if one wants to consider challenging an unreasonable/unfair decision to deny a review (through their shambolic review process) does the clock start ticking from the date of that decision or the date of the final report? In other words, if one chooses to request a review does one automatically lose one's right to a Judicial Review? Insofar as I understand, a person can challenge any decision a public authority makes?

    Many thanks in advance.

    You generally have three months from the date of any decision you are challenging. This should be generally preceded by the Pre Action Protocol letter to the Defendant and any "interested parties." There are often other time limits as in planning cases where 6 weeks is the deadline. You can generally rely upon the most recent decision to trigger the three months. Remember it is three months BUT 'as soon as reasonably practicable."
