Judicial Review: Procedure Guide
The final hearing, or trial, will normally
take place four to eight months after permission has been granted;
unless there is a reason why the trial must take place more quickly.
Unlike lots of court hearings, the only people who have to speak in
court are the barristers.
The person bringing the case, the opponent, and anyone else who has
provided a witness statement can come to the Court hearing if they
wish, but it is only in very unusual cases that they will be asked
questions about their witness statements by the judge or the barristers.
Instead the judge will focus on the written witness statements and
other documents, and on the legal arguments presented by the barristers.
Normally the solicitor at Pierce Glynn who has prepared your case
will go to the court hearing to assist the barrister. Whilst it is
not essential that you go, it is normally very helpful if you do.
The final hearing might only last a couple of hours in a simple case.
In a complicated case it might last several days.
