Judicial review - time limit query

Red Hare

In 2015 a government department made a decision that had an impact on me.

A couple of weeks ago, through GDPR, I received documents that the government department had used to base its decision on but which I have never seen before.
Is it too late to seek a judicial review of the decision in 2015 based on the documents I received just now in 2020?

3 months from the date when grounds for the application first arose. extensions to that may be granted but only a solicitor can advise if this may be possible based on your particular circumstances.

I have a disability that is not compatible with solicitors. That is why I posted my query here:rolleyes:

I did not believe it was sincere, or helpful to answer that only a solicitor can answer the question that I posted and that why I selected roll eyes.

ignoring my question was, and remains an option to anyone💩

you asked how long you have to bring a judicial review. you were told 3 months is the normal time frame. any extensions to that are entirely dependent on particulars that we are not privy to so only a solicitor can give you specific advice. nobody here can give you legal advice as it is against the rules. i would be grateful if you would not assume my answer was insincere. it was a genuine attempt to be helpful. given the attitude you have displayed i doubt you will be getting further answers from anybody.

i already was aware of the 3 month timeframe and I had already sought legal advice. I came here seeking legal discussion. In my opinion what I received here was not a legal discussion.

The legal discussion in this judgement is the best one so far that I can find. I would like to share it with other people on this forum, and in particular with non practitioners who may visit the legal discussion forum seeking discussion on the fascinating topic of time limit in judicial review.

Red Hare

Paragraphs 17 to 27 of this other judgement discusses time limit as a double edged sword but it doesn't give advice on it as far as I can ascertain. Therefore it is a legal discussion and is not legal advice.

Finally, this judgement contains legal discussion and includes legal discussion on on time limit - double edged swords and pitfalls are included - but legal advice is not present in the legal discussion as far as I can understand. https://www.courts.ie/viewer/pdf/04f395ec-dd20-47e6-93d0-f0e7640baf00/2017_IECA_20_1.pdf/pdf#view=fitH
