Our team has a longstanding reputation for acting for parties in judicial reviews, injunctions, and statutory reviews and appeals. Our claim to be the ‘go to’ firm for local authorities has its roots in a long-standing close association with the public sector.
We advise clients from beginning to end, including on pre-action protocol, the merits of the case, the procedures and the costs, including the complexities of protective costs orders.
Our team focuses its work on the Administrative Court (including the Planning Court) in London. We regularly act for public bodies and applicants across the full range of administrative law actions, including:
Mainly public bodies and particularly local authorities defending judicial review actions and planning appeals.
Landowners and businesses making challenges.
We appeared in the Planning Court, Court of Appeal and the Supreme Court in the recent cases relating to the National Planning Policy Framework.
