When you need a public & administrative law barrister
A public body has made a decision that affects you unfairly, you are considering judicial review, or you face a regulatory decision.
Can I instruct a public & administrative law barrister directly?
Public law advice and judicial review work are commonly handled through direct access, subject to tight deadlines.
What does it cost?
Initial merits advice is often fixed fee. Judicial review has strict time limits, so act quickly.
Written by the Barrister Link team. Not yet reviewed by a practising barrister.
This page is general information, not legal advice. Nothing here replaces advice on your own situation, and time limits can apply to legal claims.
Public & Administrative Law: common questions
Can I challenge a council decision?
Sometimes, through judicial review or other routes. A barrister can advise whether the decision is legally challengeable.
What is the deadline for judicial review?
Judicial review must usually be brought promptly and within three months. Get advice immediately.
Can a barrister advise on an SEN or education dispute?
Yes. Public law barristers regularly advise parents and individuals on decisions by public bodies.
