This session looks at transparency and the duty of candour in judicial review, including through recently published research. The panel will also look at the difficulties of ‘black box’ litigation which potentially requires access to data that is currently unavailable or very hard to obtain. We’ll also look at how lawyers, NGOs and journalists and campaigners can work together on these issues.
