What is Judicial Review Law?

Judicial review is a legal process used to challenge the lawfulness of decisions made by public authorities. It is not about whether a decision is right or wrong, but whether it was made fairly, lawfully, and within the powers given to that body.

Common judicial review claims include:

Immigration and asylum refusals
Unlawful government policy or procedures
Local authority decisions (planning, housing, social care)
Healthcare and NHS service issues
Education and SEND decisions
Failure to consult or follow proper process
Prison and parole board decisions
Discrimination or breach of human rights by a public body

A judicial review barrister will assess whether you have grounds for a claim — and help you act fast, within strict time limits.

Faster access to legal advice
More control over your case
Lower legal costs
Specialist expertise from day one
