At any given time we are likely to be acting on some 40 judicial review cases. We have extensive expertise in many areas of judicial review. We often act for local authorities and many other public bodies, including those in the health sector, the Local Government Ombudsman, the Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman and the Law Society. We have a strong record of disposing of judicial review applications at the permission stage.
As well as providing advice on the the legal arguments underlying a judicial review claim our team provides strategic advice on how best to handle a claim both pre and post action.
Our advice includes:
- advising on procedural issues (such as delay)
- drafting and responding to pre-action protocol letters
- drafting statements of grounds and acknowledgments of service
- protecting our client's position on costs
