Judicial Review Decisions in the Crown Court – Law Commission
“The High Court has the power to judicially review decisions in the Crown Court, except in ‘matters relating to trial on indictment’ (s 29(3) Supreme Court Act 1981). The rationale for the exclusion is that judicial review should not be used as a means of delaying trials and clogging up the criminal justice process.”

Statute Law Revision: Rating repeal proposals – Law Commission
“The thirty Acts proposed for repeal in this consultation date mostly from the 18th and 19th centuries and concern local taxation in England at that time. The early rating system was closely linked with the system of providing relief for the poor in each parish. Indeed the English poor-law system remained parish-based until 1930. Changes in the mid-20th century, including the establishment of the welfare state, have made these Acts obsolete.”
