Essentially true however judicial review can expose legal flaws, incompatibilities, or breaches of higher legal principles (e.g. the Human Rights Act 1998) essentially compelling (not forcing) the government to amend or adjust legislation.
A notable example being section 23 of the Anti-terrorism, Crime and Security Act 2001.
