| Judicial Review: Procedure Guide About this guide Complaints about public authorities (e.g. a local council or government department) acting unfairly or unreasonably can be dealt with in a number of ways, including complaints procedures and through ombudsmen schemes. However one of the most effective ways is to use a court procedure called ‘judicial review’. This guide explains more about the seven stages in a judicial review court case; from when you initially instruct us through to the final hearing and any appeal. However, it is important to remember that the vast majority of judicial review cases are resolved at stages one or two. 1. Before the court case begins 2. The initial ‘permission’ application 3. Urgent cases 4. What happens next if ‘permission’ is refused? 5. What happens next if ‘permission’ is granted? 6. The final hearing 7. What happens after the final hearing? If you are considering judicial review proceedings the solicitors in our Public Law and Human Rights Team are always happy to discuss potential cases and explain more about what is involved and can be contacted at publiclawteam@pierceglynn.co.uk or on 020 7407 0007. |
