Judicial review

Advice on challenging the lawfulness of a public authority’s decision, action or failure to act.

Arrange a consultation

When judicial review may be appropriate

We consider the decision, the procedure followed and whether the authority acted within its powers. We also review whether an appeal, administrative review or other remedy is available.

Preparing a challenge

We advise on the appropriate court or tribunal, pre-action correspondence and whether an urgent or interim application should be considered. Please keep the decision and note when you received it.
