Administrative law, constitutional petitions and judicial review of the decisions of public authorities, before the High Court.
When a public body decides something unlawfully, unfairly or without hearing those affected, the High Court can intervene. The firm brings and defends judicial review applications and constitutional petitions, and advises public and private clients on administrative-law exposure before a decision is challenged.
Time limits in judicial review are short and strict. We first establish the decision, its date and the route of challenge, and say immediately if leave must be sought at once.
The application for leave, the substantive motion or the petition, with the record of the decision and the supporting affidavits.
Argued before the High Court, with the orders sought framed so that they can be complied with, and enforced if they are not.
Tell us briefly what the matter concerns and how to reach you. Consultations are arranged by appointment; a member of the team will come back to you.
