Developer’s judicial review challenge rejected by High Courtby Guest ContributorGuest Contributor Alice GrantRydon Group Holdings Ltd v Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities [2025] EWHC 2182 (Admin)IntroductionIn Rydon Group Holdings Ltd v Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities [2025] EWHC 2182 (Admin), the High Court dismissed a judicial review challenge brought by Rydon, a developer criticised in the Grenfell Tower Inquiry Phase 2 Report.
As such, they were governed by private law and not amenable to judicial review, save under allegations of fraud, corruption, or bad faith.
The central question before the Court concerned whether the impugned decisions of the Secretary of State were amenable to judicial review on any or all grounds pleaded by the Claimant.
Amenability to Judicial ReviewThe determinative issue concerned whether the decisions under challenge were justiciable in public law.
On this basis, the full range of judicial review grounds should apply.
