division_name: Judicial Review and Courts Bill
motion: <p class="indent" pid="c189.4/3" pwmotiontext="yes">&#8220;it appears that permission was granted on grounds which had no merit, ought to have been withdrawn by their proponent, and do not seem to have been regarded as giving a reasonable prospect of success even in the granting of permission.&#8221;</p>
  
  <p class="indent" pid="c189.6/3" pwmotiontext="yes">&#8220;the rule of law is weakened, not strengthened, if a disproportionate part of the courts&#8217; resources is devoted to finding a very occasional grain of wheat on a threshing floor full of chaff.&#8221;</p>
  
  <p class="indent" pid="c192.3/2" pwmotiontext="yes">&#8220;the interests or expectations of persons who would benefit from the quashing of the impugned act&#8221;</p>
  
  <p class="indent" pid="c192.3/4" pwmotiontext="yes">&#8220;who have relied on the impugned act&#8221;</p>
  
  <p class="indent" pid="c196.0/2" pwmotiontext="yes">&#8220;has the effect not of modifying a rule which is special to a reserved matter, but rather of creating such a rule, as it means that, in future, there will be a difference in the amenability of reserved and devolved tribunals to judicial review.&#8221;</p>
  
  <p class="indent" pid="c196.1/2" pwmotiontext="yes">&#8220;Judicial review is a cornerstone of British democracy. It empowers everyday people to challenge decisions made by public bodies. Whether it be central government or local authorities, rule makers are held accountable by ordinary people. This is a small, but important, check on the balance of powers in our democracy.&#8221;</p>
  
  <p class="indent" pid="c196.1/4" pwmotiontext="yes">&#8220;an obvious attempt to avoid accountability.&#8221;</p>
  
  <p class="indent" pid="c196.3/4" pwmotiontext="yes">&#8220;impose injustice and unfairness on those who have reasonably relied on its validity in the past.&#8221;</p>
  
  <p class="indent" pid="c197.2/2" pwmotiontext="yes">&#8220;unaccountable and unelected judges usurping the role of parliament, setting the wishes of the people at naught and pursuing a liberal politically correct agenda of their own&#8221;?</p>
  
  <p class="indent" pid="c199.2/2" pwmotiontext="yes">&#8220;We set the bar as high as we could when we were defining the test that should be applied, but experience has shown that our decision has not worked&#8221;.&#8212;[Official Report, House of Lords, <phrase class="date" code="2021-03-22">22 March</phrase> 2021; Vol. 811, c. 710.]</p>
  
  <p class="indent" pid="c199.3/3" pwmotiontext="yes">&#8220;a disproportionate use of valuable judicial resource&#8221;.</p>
  
  <p class="indent" pid="c199.3/6" pwmotiontext="yes">&#8220;it is expected that the legal text that removes the Cart judgment will serve as a framework that can be replicated in other legislation.&#8221;</p>
  
  <p class="indent" pid="c199.3/9" pwmotiontext="yes">&#8220;for those who require it&#8221;.</p>
  
  <p class="indent" pid="c203.1/5" pwmotiontext="yes">&#8220;that the continued expenditure of judicial resources on considering applications for a Cart JR cannot be defended, and that the practice of making and considering such applications should be discontinued&#8221;,</p>
  
  <p class="indent" pid="c203.1/10" pwmotiontext="yes">&#8220;Accordingly, we recommend that section 31 of the Senior Courts Act 1981 be amended to make it clear that the courts have the power to make suspended quashing orders in appropriate cases. This could be done through the insertion into section 31 of a new subsection (4A), which would read, &#8216;On an application for judicial review the High Court may suspend any quashing order that it makes, and provide that the order will not take effect if certain conditions specified by the High Court are satisfied within a certain time period.&#8217;&#8221;</p>

  <p class="indent" pid="c207.0/3" pwmotiontext="yes">&#8220;a concerted attempt to shut down potential routes of accountability and exert the power of the executive over Parliament, the courts and the public.&#8221;</p>

  <p class="indent" pid="c218.0/5" pwmotiontext="yes">&#8220;My initial inclination was to treat the new two tier tribunal system as wholly self-sufficient&#8230; Can it not be left to the Senior President&#8230;to ensure that the tribunal judiciary is so deployed as to ensure the appropriate degree of judicial scrutiny of decisions of the lower tier?&#8221;</p>

  <p class="indent" pid="c220.3/8" pwmotiontext="yes">&#8220;I would however suspend the operation of the orders that I would make for a period of one month from the date of the judgment to give the Treasury time to consider what steps, if any, they should now take.&#8221;</p>
  
  <p class="indent" pid="c224.0/12" pwmotiontext="yes">&#8220;this Bill threatens to deny asylum seekers a fair hearing of their&#8230;claim&#8230; We urge the Government to take these criticisms seriously and to act on them.&#8221;</p>
  
  <p class="indent" pid="c227.0/5" pwmotiontext="yes">&#8220;How sharper than a serpent&#8217;s tooth it is to have a thankless child!&#8221;</p>
  
  <p class="indent" pid="c227.0/17" pwmotiontext="yes">&#8220;The majority of Cart cases relate to Immigration and Asylum, therefore those who lose out&#8230;are more likely to have particular protected characteristics, for example in respect of race and/or religion or belief.&#8221;</p>
