answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/03/2020 answer text <p>The table sets out the number of judicial reviews that were conducted in the High Court (Administrative Court) of England and Wales each year between 1999- Q3 2019. These are substantive hearings, and not applications for permission to apply for judicial review. They include all outcomes, including the substantive decision of ‘withdraw’. Unfortunately, statistics from before this time were unobtainable in the time available. Data for Q4 2019 is due to be published on 5th March 2020.</p><p>The table also includes the number of judicial review disposals in the Upper Tribunal (Immigration and Asylum) Chamber from 2013 (when cases started to be heard there) and until Q3 2019. Importantly, this statistic includes all applications for permission to apply for judicial review, and not just the substantive hearings in stark contrast to the above number quoted for the Administrative Court, which only accounts for substantive hearings. The figures cannot be broken down into hearings conducted in the time available.</p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>Year</p></td><td><p>Judicial review in the High Court (Administrative Court)</p></td><td><p>Judicial reviews in the UTIAC (Upper Tribunal Immigration and Asylum Chamber)</p></td></tr><tr><td><p> </p></td><td><p>Substantive cases heard</p></td><td><p>Disposals (inc.applications rejected)</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>1999</p></td><td><p>1,117</p></td><td><p> </p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2000</p></td><td><p>1,207</p></td><td><p> </p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2001</p></td><td><p>729</p></td><td><p> </p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2002</p></td><td><p>420</p></td><td><p> </p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2003</p></td><td><p>420</p></td><td><p> </p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2004</p></td><td><p>334</p></td><td><p> </p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2005</p></td><td><p>392</p></td><td><p> </p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2006</p></td><td><p>461</p></td><td><p> </p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2007</p></td><td><p>421</p></td><td><p> </p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2008</p></td><td><p>419</p></td><td><p> </p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2009</p></td><td><p>488</p></td><td><p> </p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2010</p></td><td><p>477</p></td><td><p> </p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2011</p></td><td><p>485</p></td><td><p> </p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2012</p></td><td><p>541</p></td><td><p> </p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2013</p></td><td><p>546</p></td><td><p>329</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2014</p></td><td><p>392</p></td><td><p>12,708</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2015</p></td><td><p>374</p></td><td><p>18,788</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2016</p></td><td><p>331</p></td><td><p>15,012</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2017</p></td><td><p>315</p></td><td><p>11,488</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2018</p></td><td><p>219</p></td><td><p>9,971</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2019 Q1-Q3</p></td><td><p>57</p></td><td><p>6,529</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>TOTAL</p></td><td><p>10,145</p></td><td><p>74,825</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Keen of Elie question first answered 10/03/2020 17:47:57 answering member 4538 label Biography information for Lord Keen of Elie

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/12/2015 answer text <p>The government has always been clear that judicial review, when used properly, is a crucial component of the rule of law.</p><p>But too often the system is open to abuse. That is why we have taken forward reform, such as the creation of the Planning Court, which we have implemented with the assistance of the judiciary, and the changes in the Criminal Justice and Courts Act 2015, which we are implementing. The reforms will speed up the process for people who have arguable grounds and a genuine case to put.</p> answering member constituency Esher and Walton answering member printed Dominic Raab question first answered 08/12/2015 16:47:10 answering member 4007 label Biography information for Dominic Raab
