C124 Power of auditor to apply for judicial review.
1
Subject to section 31(3) of the M1F1Senior Courts Act 1981 (no application for judicial review without leave) the auditor appointed in relation to the accounts of a body other than a health service body may make an application for judicial review with respect to—
a
any decision of that body, or
b
any failure by that body to act,
which it is reasonable to believe would have an effect on the accounts of that body.
2
The existence of the powers conferred on an auditor under this Act is not a ground for refusing an application falling within subsection (1) (or an application for leave to make such an application).
3
On an application for judicial review made as mentioned in subsection (1), the court may make such order as it thinks fit for the payment, by the body to whose decision the application relates, of expenses incurred by the auditor in connection with the application.
