DOMINIC RAAB has been accused of trying to put the government “above the law” following reports he’s seeking changes to limit ministerial accountability in the courts. 

The Justice Secretary is reportedly weighing up moves to curb the power of judges in cases where claimants challenge potentially unlawful decisions made by public bodies and the government. 

The proposed changes to judicial reviews, revealed in a leaked Ministry of Justice document reportedly seen by the Guardian, has triggered anger from rights groups, lawyers and Labour.
