[2025] UKUT 218 (AAC)

WS applied to the Upper Tribunal for permission to bring judicial review proceedings in respect of the First-tier Tribunal’s decision dated 22 March 2024. The Tribunal refused WS’s appeal against a decision by the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority (“CICA”) not to extend time under paragraph 89 of the Criminal Injuries Compensation Scheme 2012 (“the 2012 Scheme”) for WS to make an application for criminal injuries compensation.

On 11 July 2024, Upper Tribunal Judge Jacobs refused WS permission to bring judicial review proceedings, on the basis of the papers. WS requested that his application be reconsidered at an oral hearing. On 09 October 2024, I gave WS permission to bring judicial review proceedings in respect of the First-tier Tribunal’s decision.
