Judicial Review

Judicial Review Solicitors Judicial review is the process by which the courts supervise the lawfulness of decisions made by public bodies. If a government department, local authority, or other public authority has acted unlawfully, irrationally, or unfairly, judicial review may provide a remedy. Our solicitors advise on prospects, prepare urgent applications, and represent clients in High Court judicial review proceedings — including immigration, regulatory, and public law challenges. How We Can Help Pre-action letters and urgent advice Permission and substantive judicial review claims Immigration and Home Office decision challenges Local authority and regulatory decisions Interim relief and injunction applications Costs and funding considerations Appeals arising from judicial review proceedings When Judicial Review May Be Appropriate Judicial review is concerned with how a decision was made, not simply whether you disagree with it. Grounds can include illegality, procedural unfairness, irrationality, and breaches of human rights or legitimate expectation. Strict Time Limits Judicial review claims must usually be brought promptly and, in any event, within three months of the decision challenged — and shorter limits apply in some areas. Early advice is critical. Speak to Our Team If you believe a public body has acted unlawfully, contact us immediately for an assessment of whether judicial review is available and what steps should be taken first.
