Answered by Angus MacKay on 11 Dec 2000 · 77 days after it was lodged, 63 days after it was due

There is no rule of law which would prevent a non-departmental public body raising an action of judicial review against the Scottish Executive, nor are any of the usual grounds for judicial review not available to such a body. There has not to date been any instance of a non-departmental public body raising an action of judicial review against the Executive.
