Judicial review has developed since the 1970s as a way for individuals to challenge decisions taken by the State.

Introducing ID cards isn't a matter of great national security importance.
Britain has always been a nation with a strong global focus. We have influenced change and built strong ties all round the world.
The truth is that those who join gangs - more often than not they are young men in their later teens - often do come from the most difficult family backgrounds, from an environment where they feel neglected and unwanted. Gang membership can bring a perverse sense of belonging which they may not have ever got at home.
It is free enterprise and the determination to succeed which generates opportunity and wealth for our society, and in doing so provides the money we need to deliver the high quality public services that we all want.
Good health and safety really matters - we need to protect people against death and serious injury in the workplace.
When you talk to unemployed young people you hear one thing above all others - if you haven't got experience how can you get a job? But if you don't have a job, how can you get experience?
Back in the late 1980s I was programme editor of Channel Four's Business Daily. Day after day we broadcast the latest news, views and analysis for the City in a period when its visibility was as high as it has ever been.
I think it's fair to set limits on housing benefit, so that people on welfare do not end up able to live in better areas than those doing the right thing by finding work.
We are a humane society, and one which believes that we have to help rehabilitate offenders so they turn away from crime.
A something-for-nothing culture does no one any favours. It makes those who are doing the right thing cynical.
It's not good enough to announce 'I know my rights' if you aren't prepared to accept that you have responsibilities to society and your fellow citizens as well. And if people don't live up to those responsibilities to our society, they will not be able to hide behind their rights.
Britain has always been a good citizen in the world. We rightly provide a safe haven for people fleeing political persecution by brutal regimes. Our legal system is often seen as a beacon for the rest of the world, with people coming from all over to study it and embed its principles into their own systems.
No one would normally accuse me of being soft on crime.
I'm not afraid of making big and sometimes unpopular calls if they're the right thing to do.
Liverpool, Manchester, Newcastle and Leeds have successful financial services sectors. There are good universities there which provide great opportunities for local technological innovation. And there are strong multinational and family businesses.
We remain fully committed to introducing a cap on social care costs.
All too often politicians sign treaties in a hurry, without reading them properly, and without understanding where they will lead.
During the late 1940s, Europe was a pretty bleak place.
Britain cannot afford to allow a culture of Left-wing-dominated, single-issue activism to hold back our country from investing in infrastructure and new sources of energy and from bringing down the cost of our welfare state.
We need to be self-confident, ambitious, and relentlessly internationalist in our outlook.
The arrival of DNA testing has brought new dimensions to the investigation of crime. It has brought resolution to old cases where past investigators were unable to uncover the truth. It has brought justice in new cases where once the truth might never have been known.
I think it's fair to set limits, so that people cannot receive more than the equivalent of the national average wage while living on benefits.
Visit any of the fastest growing parts of the world and you will find investment in infrastructure.
Britain is a country of glass ceilings.
An economic strategy built around hiking taxes for business means one thing: fewer jobs.
I want to see prisoners getting support that is every bit as good as that which they would receive from the NHS in the community.
We need society, and particularly the victims of crime, to believe justice is being done.
We have to take real steps to break down the culture of benefit dependency and failure which blights too many urban areas.
Are we really going to accept the situation where the government of Lithuania has more power over our trading relationship with the Commonwealth than our government does? That is the reality of the customs union.
I personally always took the view that, if you look at the case of should a Christian hotel owner have the right to exclude a gay couple from a hotel, I took the view that if it's a question of somebody who's doing a B&B in their own home, that individual should have the right to decide who does and who doesn't come into their own home.
Take a walk around many of our cities and you will find areas of deprivation, high worklessness and educational failure only yards from areas of prosperity and employment.
European businesses will want to retain free-trade access to the U.K. - their biggest export market.
The growth of cycling is a good thing. But good cycling is responsible cycling.
The SNP talks a lot - but they have proved that they cannot deliver.
Generational disinterest in education means that too many young children lack the push from their parents in early years which can make the difference between success and failure in schools.
The state has no right to cast people aside because they are sick or disabled.
All too often, ambulance-chasing has been simple fraud. People are encouraged to launch a claim for whiplash when no one has been injured. Phone calls ask you to claim for accidents that never happened.
The trouble with the SNP is they want power without responsibility. They do not want to take difficult decisions.
The Human Rights Convention was written by Conservatives in the aftermath of the Second World War. It was designed to combat the risk of another Holocaust, and to try to stop people being sent to prison camps without trial.
It is already tough to buy a house. But if we are bringing a population the size of Newcastle upon Tyne into the country every single year, if we cannot set limits on the number of people that come and work in Britain, then simple maths says it is going to be even more difficult to get on to the housing ladder.
It was never the case that prisoners were simply allowed unlimited parcels - books or otherwise... It would be a logistical impossibility to search them all, and they would provide an easy route for illegal materials.
We are concerned about benefit tourism.
We've got a very poor record on unnecessary red tape; extra cost to business; people being asked to do things they don't need to; over the top regulation, misinterpreted regulation, poor guidelines.
One thing really important is that we set out an agenda of compassionate Conservativism. That's what I've been trying to do in the Justice Department.
This is not rocket science. If you mentor and support people when they leave prison they're less likely to reoffend.
People who end up in our prisons tend to come from the most difficult backgrounds. They did not have the parental support as they grew up, as many of us enjoyed, and they struggle when they leave prison.
We need to scrap the Human Rights Act and need a balance between rights and responsibilities.
I don't think all the cycle lanes in London have been designed as well as they should have been.
Motorists in London have got to be immensely careful of cyclists. At the same time, cyclists in London are too often unwilling to obey the road signs. I've seen regular examples of people who just bolt through red lights.
