Abstract
Director of Public Prosecutions v Durham (also called Bouye), decd and others [2024] UKPC 21; [2024] 1 W.L.R. 3900 involved an application for judicial review of a decision to prosecute. The Privy Council rightly refused that application on the ground that the evidence did not disclose a ground for judicial review, and the criminal trial would be the more appropriate forum to investigate any further evidence. Unfortunately, the Privy Council missed several opportunities to address various lingering problems with the law on judicial review of prosecutorial decisions.
