If you are displeased with a decision made by a public body which could have a big effect upon you then contact us. You could ask the High Court to review the decision.
This is a complex area of law. You will need expert advice from an experienced dispute resolution lawyer. Our team of outstanding and determined lawyers will respond swiftly, with solid advice and support through every step of the process.
You first have to ask the Court’s permission to seek judicial review and you have to act fast. An application for permission has to be lodged with the Court at the earliest opportunity and within 3 months of the decision that you want to challenge.
A High Court Judge will consider the application and decide whether to grant you permission. The Judge will usually make his decision after reading the application and without a Court Hearing.
If permission is granted then a Hearing will take place at the High Court some time later.
The High Court is an extremely busy place. It can take a considerable period of time for a Hearing to take place. In the meantime the public body might have done precisely that which you want to stop happening and it could be irreversible. In those circumstances it will be necessary to additionally make an application for an injunction at the same time as lodging the permission application.
