Exclusive: ex-cabinet minister calls plans an assault on legal system and attempt to avoid accountability
The former cabinet minister David Davis has pledged to lead a rebellion against the government’s changes to judicial review, calling them a worrying assault on the legal system and attempt to avoid accountability.
Ahead of the first major test of the judicial review and courts bill that will be debated in the Commons on Tuesday, Davis wrote in an article for the Guardian that ministers’ plans would “tip scales of law in favour of the powerful”.
