High Court challenges

Where an appellant or third party objector is aggrieved by the decision of the Secretary of State, we advise on whether there is a right of challenge, and can assist in the conduct of any proceedings.  Equally, where a party is aggrieved by the decision of a local authority, we advise on rights of challenge to the High Court, or a potential complaint to the Local Government Ombudsman.  In particular the team can advise on:

• the merits of challenging a decision
• s288 and s289 appeals against Inspectors’ decisions
• judicial review proceedings
• complaints to the Ombudsman
