Though much of it remains out of sight, it is no secret that the use of automated decision-making systems in government is now widespread and growing. In practice, many such systems are partially, rather than fully, automated; there is a ‘human in the loop’. In such a system, there are a range of downstream risks in respect of the quality of administrative decision-making. One such potential risk is automation bias – a welldocumented psychological phenomenon whereby decision-makers put too much, or inappropriate, trust in computers and thus effectively abdicate to some extent their own discretionary judgement. The question of how judicial review may respond to this risk is on the horizon.","PeriodicalId":232228,"journal":{"name":"Judicial Review","volume":"53 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122687041","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The result of the 2014 referendum on Scottish independence was a – fairly narrow – rejection of the proposal for Scotland becoming independent at that time. However, there remained a high level of support for independence. As is well-known, whilst the UK as a whole voted to leave the EU in the 2016 referendum, a majority of voters in Scotland voted to remain in the EU. As the House of Lords Constitution Select Committee has stated, ‘[t]his prompted calls for a second independence referendum by the Scottish Government, which were rejected by the UK Government on the grounds that this was not a priority during the implementation of Brexit and the response to COVID-19’.","PeriodicalId":232228,"journal":{"name":"Judicial Review","volume":"3 11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122771572","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Much of the contemporary academic writings on reason-giving in administrative law scholarship concern whether there may be ‘a general duty to give reasons’ in common law. The current position in English law is that no such general duty exists, although exceptionally the decision-maker may nevertheless be required by common law to give reasons. The present article does not seek to further this debate. It seeks instead to address a short point that has received scarce attention in the academic literature, but which can have significant theoretical and pragmatic implications on reason-giving in English administrative law. It is what I will call the ‘procedural qualifier’ to reason-giving. It will be contended here that the procedural qualifier to reason-giving should be rejected.","PeriodicalId":232228,"journal":{"name":"Judicial Review","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116734089","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
