This guidance note considers judicial review in the context of tax.

In particular, it explains:

•
what judicial review is
•
the scope of judicial review
•
where to make an application for judicial review, and in particular:
1. ◦
  when it is possible to make an application to the Upper Tribunal
2. ◦
  whether it is possible to make an application to the First-tier Tribunal
•
what to do if your dispute involves both public law and technical tax issues
•
the remedies available ― ie what outcomes taxpayers can expect if they win

Judicial review is complex and this guidance note is only a summary. Unless you are experienced in judicial review work, it is recommended that you take specialist advice.
