The Attorney General Chambers (“AGC”) had on 23 July 2018 issued a media release whereby the AGC proposed to revise Order 53 Rule 3(3) of the Rules of Court 2012.
Under Order 53 Rule 3(3), applicants who have filed an application for Judicial Review are required to serve the cause papers to the AGC in relation to the application for leave to commence judicial review. The proposal by the Attorney General would dispense with such a requirement.
According to the Attorney General most, if not all, of the application for Judicial Reviews are made in relation to employment matters emanating from the Industrial Court. As such cases are intrinsically private between the parties, it would therefore not require the involvement of the Government.
