Judicialreview in Scotland functions within the framework of Scots administrative law . The power of judicialreview of all actions of governmental and private bodies in Scotland is held by the Court of Session . The procedure is governed by Chapter 58 of the Rules of Court. ref cite web url http www.scotcourts.gov.uk session rules print rules CHAP58.pdf title Chapter 58 Applications for JudicialReview publisher Scottish Court Service accessdate 4 December 2010 ref Approximately 600 judicialreview cases are raised every year, but most are settled by agreement with only a small minority having to be decided by the court. Procedure There are no time limits on seeking judicialreview, although if proper administration is prejudiced by delay on the part of the pursuer, the court may exercise its discretion and refuse to grant a review. Despite the procedural differences, the substantive laws regarding the grounds of judicialreview in Scotland are similar to those in other western legal systems , with decisions in one jurisdiction regarded as highly persuasive in the others. There is, however, one substantial difference in Scotland since there is no distinction between review of a public body and a private body, which is different from, for example, judicialreview in England and Wales , where review is only possible in the case of a public body or a quasi public body West v. Secretary of State for Scotland . Generally, review is confined to purely procedural grounds the official action was illegal or improper , although the court will also sanction decisions which are, in substance, so unreasonable that no reasonable decision maker could have reached it so called Wednesbury unreasonableness . A more rigorous standard of substantive review is applied where the matter complained of touches upon the pursuer s rights in terms of the Human Rights Act 1998 .

See also JudicialReview Until 1982, Canada had parliamentary sovereignty like the United Kingdom, wherein the Supreme Court of Canada could only overturn acts of Parliament if those acts violated the division of powers between the Canadian federalism federal and provincial levels of government. With the introduction of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms in 1982, Canadian courts gained the power to overturn primary legislation , a change that would have sweeping effects on both the operation of the Canadian government and on the relationship between the people and the government. The Constitution of Canada does have provisions that can allow the government to ignore a judicial ruling in certain but not all areas of legislation, such as the Section Thirty three of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms Notwithstanding Clause . However such powers are rarely used, they often have limitations stating that the government s decision to ignore a judicial ruling will automatically expire if the government fails to hold regular periodic votes to renew such decisions, and in most cases they are politically very unpopular.

Electoral Commission , Case citation The Philippines 63 Phil. 139 1936 . Nonetheless, the Supreme Court would, in the next several decades, often decline to exercise judicialreview by invoking the political question doctrine. In 1987, the constitutional convention formed to draft a new charter decided to provide for a definition of judicial power as a means of inhibiting the Supreme Court from frequently resorting to the political question doctrine. Hence, Section 1, Article VIII of the Constitution of the Philippines 1987 Constitution states in part that Judicial power includes the duty of courts of justice to settle actual controversies involving rights which are legally demandable and enforceable, and to determine whether or not there has been a grave abuse of discretion amounting to lack or excess of jurisdiction on the part of any branch or instrumentality of the government.

See also JudicialReview Article 190 of the Switzerland Swiss Federal Constitution states that federal statutes and international law are binding on the Federal Supreme Court. In consequence, the courts are not empowered to review the constitutionality of federal statutes, but will, where possible, construe statutes so as not to create a conflict with the Constitution. The courts can suspend the application of federal statutes that conflict with international law, but tend to exercise this power cautiously and deferentially In Schubert BGE 99 Ib 39 , the Federal Supreme Court refused to do so because Parliament had consciously violated international law in drafting the statute at issue. The reason traditionally given for the lack of judicialreview is the Swiss system of Popular democracy popular democracy If 50,000 citizens so demand, any new statute is made subject to a popular referendum . In this sense, it is the people themselves that exercise review. The situation described above for Swiss federal law applies mutatis mutandis to the constitutional and legal systems of the individual canton of Switzerland cantons . However, owing to the derogatory power of federal law, federal courts as a matter of course exercise judicialreview on cantonal law, as well as on federal executive law ordinances, executive orders etc. .

Since 1994, the Constitution stipulates that no law or other regulation may violate the European Convention Ch. 2, 23 .

Constitutional review See Human rights in Hong Kong Under the Basic Law, the court of Hong Kong is also delegated with the power to interpret the Basic Law. Thus, it is recognised by the Hong Kong courts that they have jurisdiction to check whether the executive or legislature are working within the boundaries of the Basic Law. Like the United States, Hong Kong courts have held that they may review as to whether legislation passed by the legislature is in compliance with the Basic Law. This is different from the situation in the UK where the court may have no such jurisdiction under the traditional doctrine of parliamentary supremacy . The Hong Kong courts observed that reviewing legislation is possible because the legislature in Hong Kong is not, unlike its UK counterpart, supreme. Administrative review The Basic Law provides that the previous law in force in Hong Kong, including Common Law, will be preserved. Thus, administrative review, as part of the Common Law, is also preserved. The basis of administrative review is commonly said to be Article 35 of the Basic Law, which reads quote Hong Kong residents shall have the right to institute legal proceedings in the courts against the acts of the executive authorities and their personnel.

orphan date November 2009 Judicialreview is the procedure by which courts in Denmark assess whether laws are compatible with the constitution, and administrative acts are compatible with the law. The Constitution of Denmark does not expressly authorise the courts to review statutes, but the courts have inferred the right from its provisions. History As the constitution does not mention whether the courts can overturn legislative acts, it has been debated in Danish legal theory whether the courts are able to do this. However the courts have assumed this right which has been accepted by the government as well as Parliament of Denmark parliament . There have been little debate whether the courts were able to examine whether the formal constitutional procedures connected to the creation of a law has been followed. The courts have done this in a few cases but have never ruled a law unconstitutional due to non compliance with formal procedure. Previously it has been debated whether the courts were able to examine whether a law was in compliance with the material provisions of the constitution. However there is a consensus in recent legal theory that the courts have this power, citing a longstanding precedence. In 1912 the supreme court assumed that it had the power to try the constitutionality of tithe abolition laws. In 1921 the supreme court came close to declare a land reform law unconstitutional and it was only because a judge changed his vote that the law was considered constitutional.

Unreferenced date January 2009 In the practice of law , judicial estoppel also known as estoppel by inconsistent positions is an estoppel which precludes a Party law party from taking a position in a case which is contrary to a position they have taken in earlier legal proceedings. Although, in the United States , it is only a part of common law and therefore not sharply defined, it is generally agreed that it can only be cited if the party in question successfully maintained its position in the earlier proceedings and benefited from it. Judicial estoppel is a doctrine which may be applied in matters involving closed bankruptcies wherein the former debtor attempts to lay claim to an asset which was not disclosed on the bankruptcy schedules. In an early US articulation of the doctrine, the United States Supreme Court, in First National Bank Of Jacksboro v. Lasater, 196 U.S. 115 1905 , held at 119 It cannot be that a bankrupt, by omitting to schedule and withholding from his trustee all knowledge of certain property, can, after his estate in bankruptcy has been finally closed up, immediately thereafter assert title to the property on the ground that the trustee had never taken any action in respect to it. If the claim was of value as certainly this claim was, according to the judgment below , it was something to which the creditors were entitled, and this bankrupt could not, by withholding knowledge of its existence, obtain a release from his debts and still assert title to the property.
