Description
There has been a steady growth of governmental power in recent decades. This growth has been manifested in the increased involvement of the Executive in the economic sphere. This has heightened the significance of judicial review applications as a means to challenge decisions of governmental bodies in commercial disputes.
This webinar will address matters such as the public and private law divide, the scope for judicial review in commercial disputes, the decisions that have been the subject of challenge in judicial review applications in such disputes, the possible grounds for such challenges and the relief that could be ordered in such actions.
