Analysis and conclusion

Analysis and conclusion

Should the claim be treated as effectively in time?

67.

I should deal first with the suggestion made on Mrs Rizvi’s behalf that the submission of the 17 June 2024 claim form to the ACO should be treated as the bringing of a claim in time, or something close to it, by analogy with CPR 7.2 and Practice Direction 7A para. 6.1 and 6.2:

Rule 7.2 provides that proceedings are started when the court issues a claim form at the request of the claimant.

ii)

Practice Direction 7A para. 6.1 provides that “where the claim form as issued was received in the court office on a date earlier than the date on which it was issued by the court, the claim is ‘brought’ for the purposes of the Limitation Act 1980 and any other relevant statue on that earlier date.”

68.

I am not persuaded that these provisions assist Mrs Rizvi:

First, the claim for judicial review for which permission is sought is not in the terms of the claim form submitted to the Administrative Office on 17 June 2024, but materially different.

ii)

Second, the provisions in question are not directly applicable to claims for judicial review, and are not concerned with a case, such as the present, in which the court requires further information from the claimant before it can issue the claim form.
