Cases

R v Disciplinary Committee of the Jockey Club, ex parte Aga Khan

Comment

This decision has been much-debated in the literature, where it has been suggested that things might be different after the Human Rights Act. However, the decisionwas apparently approved at first instance and on appeal post-HRA in R (Heather) v Leonard Cheshire Foundation (2001, 2002). In view of the decision of Richards J in Bradley v The Jockey Club (2004) that the standard of review in private law under the common law supervisory jurisdiction is similar to that in public law the significance of the distinction may be reducing.
