UK PM Starmer plans reforms to speed up infrastructure projects by limiting judicial reviews.

UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer plans to reform the judicial review process to speed up major infrastructure projects like nuclear power plants, wind farms, and roads. The changes will scrap the written stage for cases deemed without merit and prevent them from appealing to the Court of Appeal. This aims to reduce delays and costs, with the government committing to 150 major project decisions by the next election. The move, however, faces criticism from those concerned about environmental impacts and economic recovery.
