In late March 2017, Sarah presented at the Victorian MIA's Member Support session on Judicial Review. Sarah was able to pass on some of her considerable knowledge about:

  • Differences between merits review and judicial review

  • What to be aware of when conducting merits review

  • When judicial review is an option

  • The various jurisdictions and time limits for making judicial review applications

  • How to tell when a notification is defective notification and what its implications are for review rights

  • Natural justice and how to tell if it has been properly afforded

  • How to spot a jurisdictional error and what to do if we come across one

  • Applying for merits review out of time
