Judicial Review in New Democracies by Tom Ginsburg

Judicial ReviewJudicial Review It is a court process where a judge examines the legality of a decision made by a public body. It focuses on the decision-making process rather than the actual conclusion. The court does not replace the decision, but ensures the correct procedures were followed. If a decision was deemed incorrect, judicial review may not be the best option. Instead, appealing to a higher court could be an alternative solution. This process allows the public body to make the same decision lawfully. A judge will refuse permission to apply for review unless satisfied that there is an arguable ground for it which has a realistic prospect of success. in New Democracies
