A judicial review is first created to appeal decisions on a denied program application, product delivery case, prior appeal case, or issue case. Additional denied program applications, product delivery cases or issue cases can be added to the new judicial review. Adding another item to a judicial review means that you require this to be considered at the hearing held for the judicial review. Each additional item that is added to the hearing case can potentially be lodged by a different appellant.
Note that judicial review appeals can only be created on issues cases that have an approved resolution. For information on issue case resolutions, see the Cúram Issue Management Guide.
When creating a judicial review, the user specifies the appellant for the appeal, the respondent for the appeal, and the appeal details. Appeal details include the estimated level of difficulty for the appeal, the reason for the appeal, any emergency associated with the appeal, for example, threatened eviction, whether or not the appellant wishes to continue benefits for the duration of the appeal, and important dates. The date the appeal request was received by the organization is recorded. If the judicial review is created for a denied program application, product delivery or prior appeal case, the date the decision on the original item being appealed became effective is specified. If the judicial review is created for an issue case, the date that the resolution for the issue was approved is recorded.
If the organization is the appellant, the judicial review case owner can request that the system prints off a court petition as part of the appeal creation process. The court petition can be attached to the judicial review appeal. The petition can then be completed and sent to the court.
If the organization is not the appellant, the judicial review case is created after the court notifies the organization that the appellant has petitioned for an appeal. Notification that the judicial review appeal case has been created is sent to the case participant.
