This work covers challenges to the decisions or actions of public bodies, including central government departments, local authorities and regulators, where a court is asked to review the lawfulness of the decision or to substitute a different outcome. A solicitor in this area drafts grounds for permission and for substantive review, prepares and bundles evidence, applies for permission to proceed, and represents the client at hearings. They also assist with statutory appeals that follow a different procedural route but attack the same core issues of legality, rationality or fairness.
Judicial Review involves identifying legal grounds such as illegality, irrationality or procedural impropriety, and navigating procedural hurdles like permission stages, timetables and remedy types. A solicitor coordinates evidence and expert input, drafts pleadings and skeletons, and conducts advocacy at hearings, including urgent applications for interim relief where necessary. The work is heavily procedural and evidential, with high scrutiny of public authority decisions and potential avoidance of wrongful outcomes through judicial oversight.
