Judicial Review Solicitors

Judicial Review

Judicial Review is a process by which the lawfulness of decisions made by public bodies can be challenged. It can also be a useful tool for identifying and challenging human rights breaches by public bodies such as Government departments, DPP, the HSE, HIQA and other statutory agencies.

Let's Talk

Judicial Review is a vital component of the Criminal Justice system in the Republic of Ireland.

It is necessary to hold public bodies to account for the decisions they make.

If you believe that a public authority has made an unlawful decision that affects your rights or interests, consult one of our solicitors at P. A. Duffy & Co Solicitors. We firmly believe that when these rights are breached the relevant decision-makers should be challenged to ensure such breaches do not happen again.

How do I Judicially Review a Decision?

Judicial Review is a remedy of last resort. This means that an applicant must have exhausted all other avenues of appeal before making an application for Judicial Review. If an applicant has exhausted all of their appeal options, then they must seek legal advice urgently as an application for judicial review must be made within 3 months of the final decision from the public body.

A Judicial Review can be brought if a decision from a public body is thought to be illegal, procedurally unfair, irrational or disproportionate.
