A person who feels that an exercise of such power by a government authority, such as a minister, the local council or a statutory tribunal, is unlawful, perhaps because it has violated his or her rights, may apply to the Administrative Court a division of the High Court for judicial review of the decision and have it set aside quashed and possibly obtain damages. A court may also make mandatory orders or injunctions to compel the authority to do its duty or to stop it from acting illegally. Unlike the United States and some other jurisdictions, Englishlaw does not know judicial review of primary legislation laws passed by Parliament , save in a few cases where primary legislation is contrary to EU law and the European Convention of Human Rights. A person wronged by an Act of Parliament therefore cannot apply for judicial review unless this is the case.

Therefore, only the Inns of Court provided any instruction in the Common Law, which was of most practical use to practitioners.
