Written answers

I wish to advise the Deputy that the total number of Judicial Reviews taken against my Department within the 10-year period up to 2022 is: 66

The total number ongoing is: 24

The total number closed is: 44

The totality of costs incurred by my Department as a result of judicial reviews over the time period specified in the question is still being compiled. The information will be forwarded to the Deputy in the course of the next week.

The names of the body or person that initiated judicial review proceedings are set out below. It is important to point out that some of the individuals and bodies named below have instituted more than one Judicial Review which is why the number of litigants set out below is less than the number of proceedings set out above.
