Challenging Unlawful Immigration Decisions

Judicial review is a court process that examines whether a government decision — including immigration decisions — was made lawfully. It is not a re-examination of the facts but a review of whether proper legal processes were followed and the correct law applied.

We advise on whether judicial review is appropriate in your case, and if so, manage the entire court process with specialist legal support.

Grounds for Judicial Review

Illegality — the decision-maker acted outside their legal powers
Irrationality — the decision was unreasonable
Procedural unfairness — proper procedures were not followed
Breach of legitimate expectation
Human rights considerations
