Current Trends in Commercial Judicial Review

Judicial review is an important tool for business seeking to protect their commercial interests. Regulatory authorities in markets across the common law world have experienced an increase in the use of judicial review to challenge their decisions and policies as companies and individuals seek to protect their commercial and business interests through this recourse to the courts.  This seminar looks at trends in the use of commercial judicial review including issues of procedure that corporate entities and individual face, the ways in which general principles of judicial review have been particularized to the commercial context, the approach of the courts when reviewing decisions and policies that impact on economic and business interests and the diversification of litigation strategy used by practitioners in other markets in the common law world.
