Judicial Review and Appeals

Judicial reviews are a review of the lawfulness of a decision or action made by a public body, for example decisions made by your regulatory body, where you think they have not followed their correct process or their own guidance in reaching their decision. They are a challenge to the way in which a decision has been made, not the conclusion.

They are only available where there is no statutory right of appeal such as during a procedural stage of the case but before the end of the hearing. Sometimes we may think there are grounds to apply for permission to judicial review but we might make a tactical decision to wait until the end of your case and make a statutory appeal instead if one is available to you.

If you think you might have a case for judicial review or appeal we can consider your case an advise you on the prospects of pursuing either course of action.
