Time to be prompted into action - 2002 - Estates Gazette (0215) 13 April 2002, 127(1) .

Looks at how applications to review administrative decisions face tight deadlines, but how, for planning decisions, courts have adopted an inconsistent approach to concept of promptness. Points out that the rules governing time limits for submitting applications to court for permission to apply for judicial review of administrative decisions are unclear. Cites case of 'R v Hammersmith and Fulham London Borough Council, ex parte Burkett[2001]', where a judgment from the House of Lords is expected on this concept. Observes that the courts appear to want a third party to closely monitor progress of a planning application.
