Only use the judicial review process if you are challenging something on the grounds that it is either unlawful; illegal; irrational or unreasonable.

Procedure of Judicial Review:

In the process of a judicial review, the court undertakes an examination of the legality of a decision taken by a public entity. A judge is tasked with carefully assessing the process of decision-making while considering its compliance with both the law and reasonableness.

If you want to dispute a ruling made by a government entity, it is of utmost importance to promptly take action, as there are specific deadlines that must be followed. In most cases, you must lodge a legal challenge within a period of three months after the decision was rendered.

Fees:

A judicial review application has several stages. The first stage is the initial application. The fee for the initial application is £154.

Depending on whether your initial application is successful and what happens next you will have to pay additional fees.
