Regional venues for the Administrative Court
From 21 April 2009 it will be possible to issue most Administrative Court proceedings at the District Registry of the High Court at Birmingham, Cardiff, Leeds or Manchester as well as at the Royal Courts of Justice in London.

The four centres will be located at:

The Honourable Mr Justice Beatson will have responsibility for the Administrative Court on the Wales and Midland circuits. The Honourable Mr Justice Langstaff will be responsible on the Northern and North-Eastern circuits. They will hear Administrative Court matters while on circuit and liaise with Presiding Judges, other nominated Administrative Court judges and Senior Circuit Judges sitting as deputy High Court Judges to ensure that the Administrative Court workload out of London is appropriately managed.

The work of the Administrative Court is varied, consisting of the administrative law jurisdiction of England and Wales as well as a supervisory jurisdiction over lower courts and tribunals. The Court is responsible for all Judicial Review applications as well as dealing with a wide range of statutory appeals and applications. The regionalisation of the Administrative Court stems from the January 2007 report, Justice Outside London.
