20 Damages.U.K.
In proceedings on an application for judicial review the High Court may, in lieu of or in addition to any other relief, award damages to an applicant, if—
(a)he has, in accordance with rules of court, joined with his application a claim for damages arising from any matter to which the application relates; and
(b)the court is satisfied that, if such claim had been made in a separate action begun by the applicant at the time of making his application, he would have been entitled to such damages.
