PUBLIC LAW

Judicial Review is a constitutional safeguard against the actions of public bodies. This area of common law has developed enormously during the last seven decades. We have handled many successful challenges against decision made by various public bodies that include Magistrates Courts, County Courts, Local Councils, professional regulatory bodies and various Secretaries of State, etc.

In the UK public law be it involve complicated issues of:

• Legality, errors of jurisdiction, fact or law;
• Abuse of discretion, insufficient enquiry;
• Bad faith or improper motive;
• Violation of human rights, concerns of proportionality;
• Bias, unreasonableness, relevance, inconsistency or unfairness, etc

We advise public bodies to act lawfully at one end and assist members of public who are affected by actions of public bodies by way of judicial review at the other end.

We are experienced in understanding lengthy & complicated facts, giving correct legal opinions, drafting grounds of challenge & defence, obtaining appropriate interim remedies – all at short notice.
