Outer House – (i) In this application, the petitioner sought judicial review of a number of decisions made by the respondent in exercise of obligations imposed on it by the terms of the Social Work (Scotland) Act 1968. At a preliminary hearing, the respondent argued that the petition should be dismissed on the grounds that (i) it raises no live issue and (ii) an alternative remedy is available to the petitioner and has not been pursued.
(ii) I dismissed the petition as incompetent because there is available to the petitioner an alternative remedy which she has not pursued.
