We respectfully submit that a matter has to be raised as a claim by the pleading in order to be a justiciable controversy. |
Is it really a question of jurisdiction or whether there is a justiciable issue? |
Accordingly, the duty owed under Section 17 of the Children Act 1989 is a target duty owed to children in general and is not justiciable by judicial review. |
A justiciable case must present actual injury, or an imminent threat of injury. |
Accordingly, suits must be justiciable before the Court will decide them, and the party bringing the suit must have standing to do so. |
Two other controversial cases have highlighted the problems for the courts in holding the exercise of the prerogative power to be justiciable. |
