Pravin Fernando succeeds in a claim for judicial review against the Secretary of State for Defence
29th March 2022
R. (on the application of Ogunmuyiwa) v Army Board of the Defence Council & Anor
The claim concerned a service complaint brought by a private soldier against his commanding officer. In a wide ranging and significant judgment Ellenbogen J found that the decision of the Army Board of the Defence Council dealing with the service complaint was significantly flawed in a multitude of ways. The claim succeeded on all six grounds of judicial review. The judgment is the first in many years to deal with the service complaints process and the first addressing the Armed Forces (Service Complaints) Regulations 2015.
