Okay, so in England, there are people called judges. They are very important because they decide whether someone has done something wrong or not. They listen to facts and make a decision based on the law.
Now, sometimes people or the government make decisions that other people don’t agree with. For example, a government might make a law that some people think is unfair.
That’s where judicial review comes in! Judicial review is when a judge looks at a decision that someone has made and decides if it follows the law or not. They look at the decision and the law and decide if the decision was fair or not.
Basically, it’s like the judge is checking to make sure the decision follows the rules. If they decide that the decision was not fair, they can say that the decision is not valid and cannot be used.
So, judicial review is a way for judges to make sure that decisions are fair and follow the law. It’s really important for making sure that everyone is treated fairly and equally under the law.
