Judicial Review |
|
|
|
The Court of Session has a general power to ensure that the decisions of tribunals as well as the acts of public and other bodies conform to the law. |

Where there is no right of appeal, judicial review will often be able to fill the gap by allowing the court to examine the decision being taken. |

The courts in Scotland have seen a steadily increasing number of judicial review petitions in recent years. Our solicitors have been involved in a large proportion of these, acting for both the petitioner seeking judicial review and the respondent defending their position.
Judicial review petitions are often high profile and attract a great deal of media attention. We are sensitive to the public image of you and your organisation.
We have advised public bodies on steps they can take to ensure that their judicial review process is judicial review-proof.
Our Human Rights Team has been involved in advising on many significant judicial review and human rights issues.
