Giving you a voice
We will fearlessly pursue justice on your behalf, ensuring that your voice is heard.
Challenge a public authority
Public bodies should act reasonably, fairly, and lawfully. If they act otherwise, they need to be challenged.
Gain a sense of Justice
We passionately believe that everyone has a right of access to justice, whatever their circumstances.
Remedies
Remedies
It is only possible to challenge a decision via judicial review if there is no internal appeal or complaints procedure available. If this alternative remedy is available then an application for judicial review is not possible.
If an application is successful a court could grant the following discretionary remedies:
- Quashing orders: declaring the original decision is invalid;
- Prohibiting orders: the public body is forbidden from undertaking a certain action;
- Mandatory orders: the public body is ordered to do something; and
- A declaration to confirm the decision made by the public body is incompatible with the Human Rights Act.
Please be aware that compensation is rarely possible in judicial review cases.
