Reviews

I strongly endorsed previous editions of this most valuable Handbook and I have no hesitation in confirming that the 8th edition is of the same high standard. -- Lord Woolf * Foreword to the Eighth Edition * Written in clear and unpretentious prose, this book grapples with the complexities of the subject, whilst providing comprehensive coverage, clear exposition, and rich illustration from the case law. Indeed, it is testament to the authority and well deserved reputation of the book that is frequently cited by the higher courts. -- Aileen Kavanagh, Trinity College Dublin * Law Quarterly Review (of the previous edition) * This book has gone from strength to strength...The long list of decisions in which the book has been referred to – reproduced at the beginning of the volume...speaks volumes for its popularity. * Journal of the Commonwealth Lawyers Association (review of a previous edition) * The scope of judicial review is a complex subject. For a detailed examination see for example...Fordham, Judicial Review [Handbook] * East Sussex County Council v Information Commissioner (Case C-71/14) [2016] PTSR 179 (Court of Criminal Justice of the European Union) at §77 (Advocate General Sharpston) *
