Judicial Reviews

Judicial Review Solicitors

Public authorities, including local councils, government departments and ministers, police forces and regulatory bodies, carry responsibility to make a wide range of decisions that can have serious impacts on our lives. We trust and expect those making these decisions to act within their powers, ensure the decision-making process is both rational and fair, and we fully expect them to act within the law.

A Judicial Review is a type of legal case where a judge reviews the lawfulness of a decision or action made by a public authority, by looking at how the decision was reached and whether the correct processes were followed.

At Harding Evans, our expert team of Solicitors act on a wide-range of Judicial Review matters, examining both local and national Government decisions, as well as the full range of public authorities.

We can help if you have been affected by a public authority abusing its power or acting unlawfully. Our specialist Judicial Review solicitors help people challenge and overturn a decision where the public authority has failed to comply with its legal obligations. We regularly act in Judicial Review cases in areas involving potential breaches of the Human Rights Act/civil liberties, health and social care, and housing.
