A judicial review is an appeal that is conducted by a court to overturn a decision on a program application, product delivery case, issue case, or prior appeal. If a decision is appealed to a judicial review, it is within the court's jurisdiction to overturn it. The main difference between a judicial review and other appeal types is that a judicial review is conducted outside the organization and is therefore outside the control of the organization. The decision-making is not handled as part of the appeals process. The only information that is entered for a judicial review is the fact that it is taking place. When a decision is reached for the judicial review it is recorded on the system by an organization user.
A judicial review can be requested by a participant or by the organization and is initiated by filing a petition with the courts. The court petition for all judicial review appeals is attached to the judicial review case.
