35: Inquiry to be cited in judicial review proceedings

You could also call this:

"What to name in a court case about an inquiry"

Illustration for Inquiries Act 2013

When you are involved in a court case about an inquiry under the Inquiries Act 2013, you need to know who to name in the case. In this situation, you must cite the inquiry itself, not the person in charge of the inquiry or the people helping with it. This means the inquiry is the one that responds to the court case, not the individual people running it.
