- Scotland judicial review application period concerns make the judicial review application from actual date on which the grounds first arise. Scotland permission appeal after an oral review hearing concerns appeal to the Inner House under section 27D from actual decision following an oral hearing on permission. Scotland statutory stated case and appeal route concerns request, lodge or pursue the applicable stated-case procedure from actual statutory decision, intimation, later reasons and case-stating events. Those steps do not establish actual decision refusing permission or granting limited or conditional permission without an oral hearing for this procedure.
