ULEZ — Outer London JR Standards (R (LB) v Mayor 2023)

The 2023 Outer London ULEZ expansion was the subject of judicial review (R (London Boroughs) v Mayor of London [2023] EWHC 1978). Although the JR failed, it set out detailed legal requirements for boundary signage, ANPR camera placement and consultation. Any deviation from these requirements at a specific location is potentially grounds for appeal.

Legal basis

Greater London Authority Act 1999; Greater London LEZ Charging Order (as amended 2023); R (London Boroughs) v Mayor of London [2023] EWHC 1978
