What does judicial review involve?

  • Challenging public decisions: Reviewing decisions made by public bodies to determine if they are unlawful, unreasonable, or procedurally flawed.
  • Legal grounds: Establishing grounds for review such as illegality, irrationality (Wednesbury unreasonableness), or failure to follow proper procedures.
  • Preliminary applications: Filing initial applications to seek permission from the court to proceed with a judicial review claim.
  • Detailed evidence review: Collecting and scrutinising evidence, documents, and legal precedents to build a robust argument against the challenged decision.
  • High Court hearings: Presenting your case before the High Court, where a judge will determine if the public decision should be quashed or amended.

How can a solicitor help with judicial review, and what does it cost?

  • Case assessment and legal advice: Evaluating your situation to determine if judicial review is the appropriate remedy, and advising on the legal grounds and potential outcomes.
  • Preparation and filing: Drafting the necessary legal documents, including the claim form and supporting evidence, and ensuring all procedural requirements are met within strict time limits.
  • Representation in court: Advocating on your behalf during hearings, presenting arguments, and cross-examining witnesses to secure a favourable decision.
  • Negotiation and alternative resolution: Advising on settlement options or alternative dispute resolution if appropriate, to avoid lengthy litigation.
  • Strategic guidance: Providing comprehensive support throughout the process, from initial consultation to the final judgment, ensuring that your rights are fully protected.

Costs for judicial review cases depend on the complexity of the issue, the level of detailed evidence required, and the solicitor’s expertise. Hourly rates typically range from £150 to £400, though some firms may offer fixed or staged-fee arrangements for certain parts of the process. An initial consultation—often free or available at a reduced rate—will help you understand your legal position, estimate potential expenses, and decide on the best strategy to challenge the public decision effectively.
