Ann: PEP11 Update, page-223

hey mode.

the govt doesn’t need to run a defence. It’s up to us to try and convince the court to issue an order for the JA to make a decision.

the application itself is a long bow don’t you think?

usually an application for a judicial review is to have the court review a decision as per what your barrister friends told you previously.

it’s a stretch . More designed to send a message that we will get on the front foot.

i think DB is hoping the govt throws in the towel and just processes the application one way or another.
