Not Just Advice – Legal Strategy That Works

When the Home Office Treats You Unfairly, We Hold It Accountable & Fight Your Corner.

A Judicial Review is not another application – it’s a High Court procedure designed to challenge unlawful or unreasonable decisions made by the Home Office or immigration authorities.

If your case has been refused, delayed, or mishandled, this is the process that can compel the government to follow its own rules.

Our specialist litigation solicitors analyse your case from the ground up. We examine the refusal letter, decision-making process, and every piece of evidence to identify legal errors, procedural flaws, or breaches of fairness. Where necessary, we send a detailed Pre-Action Protocol (PAP) letter demanding the Home Office withdraw or reconsider its decision — often resolving matters without a full hearing.

If the government refuses to correct the mistake, we act fast to prepare and file your Judicial Review claim before the strict deadlines expire. Every submission we make is built on documented evidence, accurate legal reasoning, and strategic timing – ensuring your case is presented with strength and clarity.

Judicial Review is about restoring balance between individual rights and government power. For many of our clients, it’s the point where a long immigration battle finally turns in their favour – where an unfair refusal becomes a lawful correction.

Overview

When a Decision Crosses the Line

Some Home Office decisions go beyond unfair — they break the rules.
Judicial Review is the process used to challenge those unlawful or unreasonable decisions in the High Court.
It’s not a reapplication or an appeal; it’s a legal action focused on how the decision was made, not just what the decision was.

Our solicitors step in when there’s been a clear mistake in law, process, or fairness — and every day matters.
Deadlines are strict, so acting quickly often makes the difference between success and lost opportunity.

You may be eligible for Judicial Review if:

The Home Office made a decision that was legally or procedurally flawed.

Your appeal rights were exhausted or not available.

Your case involves unreasonable delay, bias, or unfair treatment.

You were not given a fair chance to present evidence or respond.

The decision breaches your human rights or Home Office policy.

Judicial Review is a specialist legal remedy, not a general complaint.

UKIS

Judicial Review is a legal process where a court examines whether the Home Office acted lawfully, reasonably, and fairly when making a decision.

Not directly. Judicial Review doesn’t re-argue your case; it challenges how the decision was made - for example, if the Home Office misapplied the law or ignored evidence.

Usually within 3 months of the decision, but for removal, detention, or urgent matters, action may need to be taken immediately.

The decision can be “quashed” (cancelled), forcing the Home Office to remake it lawfully — often resulting in a fairer outcome for the applicant.

Judicial Review focuses on the original decision process. New evidence is only considered if it proves that the decision-maker ignored or mishandled key information.

Yes. Judicial Review is a High Court procedure governed by strict rules and deadlines. Specialist representation is essential to prepare the claim, pre-action letter, and arguments correctly.

A Pre-Action Protocol (PAP) Letter is sent to the Home Office outlining the legal errors. Many cases are resolved at this stage without needing a full hearing.

Filing a Judicial Review can suspend removal depending on the circumstances and type of claim. Your solicitor will assess this immediately.

The Law Still Gives You a Way Forward.

Judicial Review is where law, precision, and timing decide the outcome. Our solicitors handle these cases daily – restoring fairness for clients who had almost given up. If your decision feels unjust, let’s review it before it’s too late.

How We Help You Prepare and Apply Confidently

We manage every stage of your Judicial Review – from identifying unlawful or unreasonable decisions, preparing pre-action correspondence, and drafting legal grounds, to representing you through court proceedings and securing a fair outcome.

Here’s how our solicitors guide you every step of the way.

UKIS 1
Free Case Assessment

Whatever your circumstances or questions, you can contact our litigation assessment team for a free initial review. We’ll listen carefully, analyse your refusal or delay, and confirm whether a Judicial Review is the right course of action. Under the guidance of a senior immigration solicitor, we’ll explain the next steps and the strict time limits that apply. If you decide to instruct us, we can take instructions remotely with complete transparency and peace of mind.

UKIS 2
Initial Consultation — We Listen First

You’ll speak directly with one of our qualified Judicial Review solicitors (not a call centre). We take time to understand the full background of your case, the decision you’re challenging, and any previous steps taken. We then provide clear, tailored legal advice on how best to proceed, the strength of your claim, and any urgent protective action required.

UKIS 3
Case Review & Strategy

We conduct a detailed analysis of the decision-making process, identifying every procedural or legal error. Our solicitors prepare a targeted strategy that includes grounds for review under the Civil Procedure Rules and the relevant Immigration Acts. Every argument is crafted to demonstrate where the Home Office acted unlawfully or unreasonably.

UKIS 4
Pre-Action Protocol (PAP)

Before issuing court proceedings, we draft and serve a comprehensive Pre-Action Protocol Letter to the Home Office. This letter outlines the legal basis of the claim and invites them to withdraw or reconsider the decision. Many matters are successfully resolved at this stage without the need for a full hearing.

UKIS 5
Judicial Review Claim Filing

If the Home Office fails to respond or maintains its position, we prepare and file the Judicial Review claim with the Upper Tribunal or High Court, ensuring all documents, grounds, and evidence are complete and compliant. Precision at this stage is crucial to securing permission for the claim to proceed.

UKIS 6
Hearing Preparation & Advocacy

If permission is granted, we brief or represent you before the judge. We prepare all skeleton arguments, evidence bundles, and legal submissions to ensure your position is presented with clarity and authority. Throughout, you receive continuous updates and full visibility of every step.

UKIS 7
Decision & Next Steps

Once judgment is delivered, we advise on implementing the outcome - whether the Home Office must remake the decision, withdraw an unlawful action, or reconsider your case entirely. If necessary, we guide you through follow-up remedies or appeals to protect your long-term position in the UK.
