Our firm is experienced in conducting judicial reviews and statutory appeals, representing individuals, businesses, and public bodies across diverse sectors. These cases often challenge decisions by public authorities on grounds of unlawfulness, irrationality, or procedural unfairness.
Raising a judicial review of a decision made by a public body is a powerful remedy, but timing and strategy are critical. Our solicitors conduct early case assessments to determine the best approach in each particular case, and to consider the legal basis for a judicial review or statutory appeal. We are well-placed to advise on merits, risks, costs and likely outcomes. Prospective clients should note, however, that, crucially, such proceedings are time critical. As such, our firm is often instructed in urgent matters where swift intervention is required.
Statutory appeals can offer an alternative route, and we’re adept at identifying the most effective path to challenge decisions. We guide clients through procedural requirements, funding options, and advise on strategic considerations at every stage.
Over recent years, the firm has successfully pursued and defended reviews and appeals involving local government and other public bodies. We’re experienced in handling intricate legal arguments, securing interim orders, and appearing before the Court of Session and UK Supreme Court.
If you believe a decision affecting you or your organisation is unlawful, contact our Specialist Litigation Team on 0141 429 8166 or complete our online enquiry form.
