Judicial Review / Administrative and Public Interest Law

We have extensive experience in acting for clients seeking to bring Judicial Review Proceedings in the High Court, which can review the decisions of administrative bodies.

Judicial review is a procedure in which the Courts provide remedies against the abuse of the executive power of the State and public bodies.

A person who feels that a decision of a public authority, such as a government department, a Judge of the District or Circuit Court, a semi-state body, the local council or a statutory tribunal has violated his or her rights, may apply to the High Court for judicial review of the decision.

Applications which may arise in which we can advise include the following:

• Planning Decisions
• Asylum
• Licensing 
• Breach of Constitutional Rights (including Liberty)
