RG v the Secretary of State for the Home Department: CA 11 Apr 2006

The applicant sought permission to appeal against a refusal of a judicial review. The application was being heard seven months later.
Held: Permission was refused. Delay was inimical to justice. The solicitors, the Legal Services Commission and the transcibers had to overhaul their administrative procedures to ensure that communicatins were properly logged, and email being not 100% reliable should not be relied upon exclusively. Solicitors should have systems in place to chase matters when they did not receive a reply within a few days.
