Judicial Review Act 1991

Informations in the nature of quo warranto are abolished.

If—

a person acts in an office in which the person is not entitled to act; and

an information in the nature of quo warranto would, but for subsection (1), lie against the person;

grant an injunction restraining the person from acting in the office; and

declare the office to be vacant.

In an enactment in force immediately before the commencement of this Act, a reference to an information in the nature of quo warranto is taken to be a reference to an injunction of the kind that the court is empowered to grant under this section.
