Judicial review in Scotland is considerably different (in terms of procedure particularly) to the process in England and is not as advanced in its "acceptability" to the profession. This trend is changing significantly (i.e. in 1988 there were 67 applications; in 1992 there were 115) but judicial review is still under-used in Scotland. There is, however, increasing awareness of the possibilities of the remedy. This text provides a collection of information and statistical evidence giving a detailed insight into how judicial review actually works in Scotland. It examines the factors influencing access to judicial review such as practitioner knowledge of process and procedure, availability of legal aid and level of expertise of voluntary bodies. The book also looks at the general public's access to the court system and assesses the impact of judicial review on administrative practice in Scotland. Attention is drawn to the possibilities offered by judicial review at a time when its use and profile are on the increase.
