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.

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.
