Here we answer the question "What is Judicial Review"? and show how the judicial review process can be used to challenge public body, government or local authority decisions where it is considered that those decisions have been incorrectly made.

A decision may be unlawful if:
- the decision maker does not have power to make the decision or is using the power for an improper purpose
- the decision is irrational
- the procedure followed by the decision maker was unfair or biased
- the decision was taken in breach of the Human Rights Act
- the decision breaches European Community (EC) Law

Such decisions may cover planning, education, healthcare, immigration, government & local authorities, etc

We strongly recommend that you seek professional legal advice before making an application for Judicial Review
