Judicial Review in Northern Ireland [Hardcover]

Gordon Anthony (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: January 14, 2008

This is the first book to be written on the principle and practice of judicial review in Northern Ireland. It collates and discusses the ever-burgeoning body of Northern Ireland case law. The book considers the purposes of judicial review, the nature of the public-private divide in Northern Ireland law, the judicial review procedure, the grounds for review, and remedies. Much of the case law is unique to Northern Ireland, and the book identifies actual and potential differences between Northern Ireland case law and that of England and Wales. The book integrates Human Rights Act 1998 jurisprudence as has been developed by the Northern Ireland courts and by the House of Lords. It situates much of that case law within wider debates about judicial review as played out in related practitioner and/or academic journals. Judicial Review in Northern Ireland has been written primarily for practitioners of judicial review and uses numbered paragraphs for ease of reference. The book is, however, of a wider interest and it will also be a valuable resource for academics and students. Much of the Northern Ireland case law has been concerned with contentious political issues, and the courts have had to consider difficult questions of the constitutional limits to the judicial role in review proceedings. The book — with the foreword written by the Lord Chief Justice of Northern Ireland — should therefore be of use not just to practitioners, but also to those involved in the study of judicial reasoning in different jurisdictions.
