36 Power of auditor to make a claim for judicial review

(1) The Auditor General for Wales may make a claim for judicial review with respect to a decision of a local government body in Wales or a failure of the body to act, if it is reasonable to believe that the decision or failure to act would have an effect on the body’s accounts. (2) Subsection (1) is subject to section 31(3) of the Senior Courts Act 1981 (no claim for judicial review without permission of court). (3) The existence of the powers conferred on the Auditor General for Wales under this Part is not a ground for refusing— (a) a claim falling within subsection (1), or (b) an application for permission to make a claim falling within subsection (1). (4) On a claim by the Auditor General for Wales for judicial review with respect to a decision of a body or a failure of a body to act, the court may make any order it thinks fit for the payment by the body of expenses incurred by the Auditor General for Wales or the Wales Audit Office in connection with the claim.

One line that says what changes, such as "Halve the dog tax".

Who it helps, what it costs, what it fixes. It is what persuades people to support it.

A proposal here is not law. Support on Solon is evidence that people want the change; the official route says what it takes to make it law.

Think it through

Ask what your change would do, who would gain and who would bear a cost, and where something like it is already law. The assistant reads your draft as it stands, cites the law and the studies it finds, and takes no side. What you file stays yours.
