Proceeding contribution from Lord Patel of Bradford (Labour) in the House of Lords on Monday, 26 January 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Local Democracy, Economic Development and Construction Bill [HL].
Local Democracy, Economic Development and Construction Bill [HL]
I believe that someone could go to judicial review now, too, whatever their situation. I have a note on the question whether an elector could go to the district auditor if the council dealt with a petition that is not valid. The simple answer is no. Councils are acting quite properly if they respond to a petition of any sort. They do this now, and the legal position will not change when they have a duty to respond to the petition in question.
