Why do Judicial Reviews keep Failing?

Following last week’s newsletter, I’ve been asked to explain what exactly is the difference between CACUK and judicial reviews against Covid Measures, which have all failed as I predicted last summer

Quite simply, CACUK is a tort case – in tort law, you can sue a person for causing you harm, providing you can prove the harm, and the cause, and several other legal ‘tests.’  With CACUK, we can easily prove the harm and the cause, and we have substantial evidence to satisfy the other legal elements required.

Examples of tort include: trespass, assault, battery (assault and battery are actually types of trespass), negligence, nuisance and defamation.

By contrast, JUDICIAL REVIEW is simply a process of deciding whether a public body went through the correct procedures before establishing a particular law or policy, (for example, the Coronavirus Act, or the care home vaccine mandates, and now the NHS vaccine mandates.

Limited Scope

The Courts and Tribunals Judiciary Website states,

“Judicial review is a type of court proceeding in which a judge reviews the lawfulness of a decision or action made by a public body.

“In other words, judicial reviews are a challenge to the way in which a decision has been made, rather than the rights and wrongs of the conclusion reached.

“It is not really concerned with the conclusions of that process and whether those were ‘right’, as long as the right procedures have been followed. The court will not substitute what it thinks is the ‘correct’ decision.”

So, a judicial review is a special type of case.  It is limited in its scope. 

The Science is Settled???

In Simon Dolan’s £500,000 judicial review last year, many people were horrified that the judge refused to look at the science.  But it is not the remit of a judicial review to judge the science. 

Other types of cases are able to review the science, and often do – this is where you get expert witnesses in!  However, in a JUDICIAL REVIEW, the judge is neither obliged, nor has the authority, to decide which scientist was telling the truth or was conflicted or incompetent.

So, if you are going to oppose Covid Measures by claiming the science is wrong, then a judicial review is the WRONG WAY to do it.

False Assumptions?

In the recently failed judicial review of the care home regulations, even though a significant proportion of this country think it’s abhorrent to try and mandate vaccination or any medical intervention, the government’s reasoning is that care homes are exceptional, because of the duty to protect vulnerable people from a deadly virus; therefore, ASSUMING ALL VACCINES ARE SAFE, as has been propagandised for the last two centuries, and ASSUMING THERE IS A PANDEMIC, as has been propagandised for the last two years, if you are going to be working in a care home, you really ought to get vaccinated because the manager has a duty to ensure a safe environment for service users

One of the grounds in the above judicial review was ‘irrationality.’  Here’s what the Institute of Government says about the ground of irrationality, one of the limited number of grounds in a JUDICIAL REVIEW:

A decision can be overturned on the ground of irrationality if it is so unreasonable that no reasonable person, acting reasonably, could have made it. This is a very high bar to get over, and it is rare for the courts to grant judicial review on this basis.

The court decided that the government didn’t act irrationally in their decision to mandate vaccines in care homes, for which the official justifiable reason is to protect the vulnerable and allow care home managers to discharge their duty to ensure a safe environment for their residents.

Perhaps the decision may have been different had the courts NOT been operating under the ASSUMPTION that there is a deadly virus running rampant…

Challenge the Assumptions!

Of course, to challenge and correct these assumptions one would have to prove the scientific facts in court…

And, because of the limited scope, explained above, you CANNOT do that with a judicial review.

CACUK’s legal case is set up in a way that allows the science to be presented in court.  And, unlike the other cases, we DO challenge the assumption of a pandemic

For obvious reasons, I cannot give any depth of detail about how we do this, until we are ready to issue a statement of claim, which will then be published – by then, the defendants will have already seen it.  But at the bottom of the home page there is an FAQ section, which gives you a brief guide. 

We have a huge cohort of individuals who have been harmed by Covid Measures, medically, psychologically and financially.  They want to see this case in court, as we are sure you do too!

Every time a judicial review fails, the nation’s truth warriors feel defeated and demoralised.  There is no need.  Judicial reviews are inherently limited.  Judicial reviews were never going to challenge the Covid narrative, but judicial reviews are not the ONLY type of legal case!! 

Nobody in the UK has yet properly challenged the existence of a pandemic.

So, with the UK’s lawyers now starting to accept that judicial review will not succeed in challenging Covid Measures, will you now consider backing CACUK so that we can finally challenge the ‘Plandemic’ in court?

  1. Mina,

    I am glad to read what you say about the shortcoming of JS. But I am not willing to make a donation until I hear from you with the outlines of the legal basis of the claim. In any Covid claim the scientific evidence will be crucial. Who do you have in mind to call as expert witnesses and in respect of which issue ( e.g. reliability of the RT-PCR test; report from a statistician & epidemiologist over the meaning of the “number of Covid cases” and the ” number of Covid deaths” ; the relevance of the Swine Flu Scandal 2009 to the Corona Virus Pandemic announced in March 2020 in which Prof.Christian Drosten gave horror scenarios predicting millions of deaths worldwide; Prof. Drosten is the same man who worked at the Charite Hospital, Berlin, Germany in 2019 and was linked to the RT-PCR test kits re Covid-19; in May 2009, the W.H.O. inexplicably changed the definition of “pandemic” so that it becomes based on the number of “cases” rather than the number of deaths ( even if the “rapidly spreading virus was a relatively harmless pathogen; the Swine Flu Scandal was a well orchestrated propaganda campaign which almost succeeded due to the inter-connectedness of experts, large pharmaceutical corporations, the W.H.O and politicians especially politicians in Health Ministries;
    from a journalist or historian re the “Lock Step Scenario” in the Rockefeller Foundation Report of 2010 re Scenarios for the Future of Technology & International Development”; the relevance of Laura Dodsworth’s book, ” A State of Fear: How the UK Government Weaponised Fear during the Covid-19 Pandemic”; an expert to report on DARPA – Defence Advanced Research Projects Agency which is working on an advanced pandemic surveillance and biological threat detection . A division of DARPA called BTO- Biological Technologies Office – is developing a hydrogel, an implantable type of nanotechnology . It is a gel-like biosensor that can record and share biological data. The hydrogel is manufactured by Profusa, a partner with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation; the curious similarity between the “simulation” in the Event 201 which took place in New York on 18 October 2019 and the actual Covid-19 Pandemic in March 2020. Event 201 was sponsored by the W.E.F. and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation .

    1. Thanks Douglas and I am receiving your emails aswell, I promise you there is a lot of work going on here behind the scenes by a very competent team, we are not in a position yet to share the info you have mentioned, however, we can do so only when in a position to file the claim, when there will be a public statement of claim published. Till then, this website, the newsletter and the Legal Surgery (Freedom Friday) on the third friday of every month are the main means of communicating our ‘message’ which is the underlying basis of the case.

  2. Even if SARS-CoV-2 did justify the WHO calling a “Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC)” pandemic this virus is now absent in the environment, out-competed by a typically mild coronavirus. Therefore, the continuation of the PHEIC designation is not “commensurate with and restricted to public health risks, and which avoid unnecessary interference with international traffic and trade.” and, so, breaches International Health Regulations (2005). Where can I take this challenge? Is a civil case a possible route?
