Judicial Review
Judicial Review claims present unique risks by having the ability to significantly disrupt the progression of organisational objectives and undermine public confidence in administrative bodies.
We specialise in representing and defending clients that are faced with complex legal challenges to their decision making. We supply the expert intervention which minimises disruption to day to day operational activities and provides peace of mind.
Furthermore, as an ABS we pride ourselves on confronting conventional legal practices, which tend to focus on the provision of reactive legal advice. Consequently, we can work with public bodies to do more, giving proactive support at the outset of a decision making process to minimise the risk of a judicial review claim being brought.
A common ground for judicial review surrounds how the consultation process which led to a decision was flawed. We can devise, implement and oversee public consultation exercises, alleviating the pressure from what can be a time consuming and resource intensive process.
Freedom of Information
Requests for information under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOI) should be handled with care. The body of law governing how FOI requests must be dealt with exists to create a balance between ensuring information is not unreasonably withheld while safeguarding information which should not be disclosed.
We provide clear, user friendly advice to help organisations navigate their FOI obligations, and as part of our commitment to going further, we can develop systems and procedures to proactively provide clients with a foundation to handle FOI requests in the future.
Our expertise extends to handling complex FOI requests, including matters where the requester of information is dissatisfied with a response, up to cases being appealed to the Information Commissioners Office.
Prosecutions & Appeals
We provide skilled advocacy services and legal advice in relation to regulatory prosecutions in the Magistrates Court and the Crown Court. Our experience has seen us handle a range of regulatory prosecutions on behalf of our clients in areas which include:
- Environmental Health
- Food Safety
- Health and Safety
- Planning Enforcement
- Education and Attendance
- HMOs
- Fraud
Our prosecution and appeals arm also has significant experience in dealing with regulatory appeals in the Magistrates Court; this includes appeals against licensing decisions and enforcement notices for which we can provide advice and representation.
