Burns & Anor, Re Application for Judicial Review [2022] NIQB 10 (11 February 2021)
Where a public authority admits a material legal flaw in its planning decision (failure to consider a relevant PAN), the court will ordinarily quash the decision on the authority's application. Corresponding applications by other parties become academic and will be dismissed unless there is a compelling reason to proceed. The court will not generally allow academic cases to proceed absent a discrete legal issue requiring resolution. No order as to costs is appropriate where the authority acts promptly and responsibly in seeking to quash its own unlawful decisions.
