Criminal Justice and Courts Bill — Clause 55 — Refusal of Applications for Judicial Review If Highly Unlikley Conduct Complained About Changed Outcome — 17 Jun 2014 at 14:39

David Davis MP, Haltemprice and Howden voted both ways.

The majority of MPs voted in favour of requiring an application for judicial review to be refused if it appears to the court to be highly likely that the outcome for the applicant would not have been substantially different if the conduct complained of had not occurred.

MPs were considering the Criminal Justice and Courts Bill[1]. The motion rejected by the majority of MPs in this vote was:

Amendment: 23, page 55, line 12, leave out Clause 55

Clause 55[2] related to Judicial review in the High Court and Upper Tribunal and was titled Likelihood of substantially different outcome for applicant and had the effect described above.
