A defendant or interested party faced with a judicial review claim may encounter difficulties in recovering the costs of proceedings, even when successful. KUALA LUMPUR: A judicial review will be filed against a RM1,000 fine issued to a man who was unable to pay his quarantine costs after he returned home from a work-related trip in Singapore.

Judicial Review (JR) is rarely far from centre stage in the legal news. This is because the parties to litigation and their respective legal representatives have a duty to assist the court in furthering the Overriding Objective under There are future uncertainties surrounding the costs regime within JR. It has been argued that there ought to be ‘costs shifting’, which essentially requires a successful Claimant to still pay at least a portion of their own legal costs. A copy of this should be served on the Home Office. If the representations on costs are not made within 14 days of the refusal of permission, you must apply for an extension of time to file costs submissions.In the case of a settlement, the onus is with you and the Home Office to reach an agreement on costs wherever possible.

Recently, there has been some debate over the entire costs regime that is found within JR.
An important consideration when deciding whether to pursue immigration judicial review is the potential cost implications. It is a mechanism to hold governmental bodies accountable for their decisions and actions. A defendant in a judicial review claim will usually be the public authority whose decision, action or omission is being challenged.
