A claimant seeks permission to bring judicial review of a decision of a public authority. What is the time limit?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. Promptly and in any event within three months of the grounds arising
- Step 1: CPR 54.5 sets the time limit for claims for judicial review.
- Step 2: Promptness is a separate requirement, and a claim brought just within three months may still be late.
Answer
Promptly and in any event within three months of the grounds arising.
Why not the others: Six years is a contract limit; one year is the Human Rights Act limit; 14 days is not the rule.
