Judicial Review

Judicial review allows individuals to challenge decisions made by public bodies, including the Home Office, based on grounds of illegality, irrationality, or procedural impropriety. A judicial review seeks to ensure that decisions are made lawfully and fairly.

Timescales

  1. Application Submission: Must be filed within three months of the decision being challenged. 
  2. Pre-Action Protocol Letter: Typically sent before filing, unless in an emergency. Claim Filing: After submitting the Pre-Action Protocol letter and receiving a response, the Judicial Review claim form is filed with the Upper Tribunal Immigration and Asylum Chamber. 
  3. Hearing: If the Home Office defends the claim, a hearing will be scheduled, where a judge will determine the outcome. 

Fees

Depending on the issues, urgency and complexities of your case, we can move forward with your Judicial Review case using one of the following options:

  1. Hourly rate basis;
  2. Conditional Fee Arrangement (no-win no fee arrangement);
  3. Discounted Conditional Fee Arrangement.

These fees are exclusive of VAT where applicable and disbursements associated to your case.

The financial arrangement will be discussed and agreed upon during your initial consultation for your judicial review.

1: Hourly Rate

You will be responsible for covering our fees if we are handling your case on an hourly basis, regardless of the outcome. If you have already paid most or all of our legal fees as outlined in the final bill, we will aim to recover these costs (including any disbursements) from the Government if your case is successful and a costs award is granted in your favor.

Additionally, you are responsible for paying all disbursements related to your case

2: Conditional Fee Arrangement
(no-win no fee arrangement)

You are responsible for our full fees if your case is successful, but we will recover these fees from the losing party.

If your case is unsuccessful, you will not be required to pay our fees, but the Court may order you to cover the Government’s costs.

You will remain responsible for all disbursements, regardless of the outcome of your case.

3: Conditional Fee Arrangement
(no-win no fee arrangement)

If your case is successful, you will be responsible for paying a percentage of our total fees, with the remainder being recovered from the losing party.

In the event your case is unsuccessful, you will be required to pay a reduced fee, and the Court may also order you to cover the Government’s costs.

You will be responsible for all disbursements, regardless of the outcome.

Additionally, we may be entitled to deduct between 30% and 50% of any damages recovered on your behalf, depending on the complexity of your case. This percentage will be agreed upon at the beginning of your matter.
