Answered by Sir Nicholas Dakin
A judicial review challenge may be made against a wide range of public bodies, including Government Separtments, local authorities, police, NHS trusts, regulatory bodies, and certain courts and tribunals.
There is no centrally held data on the total cost of judicial reviews across these different bodies.
