The Investigatory Powers Tribunal

Making a complaint

Judicial Review

Section 67(8) RIPA provides, in effect, that decisions of the Tribunal are final and are not liable to be questioned in any court. The question arose as to whether it precluded judicial review of decisions of the Tribunal. The Supreme Court in the case of R (on the application of Privacy International) v Investigatory Powers Tribunal  [2019] UKSC 22 held that section 67(8) does not exclude the judicial review jurisdiction of the High Court in relation to decisions of the Tribunal.
