What is Judicial Review?

Judicial Review is a powerful legal remedy used to challenge unlawful or unreasonable decisions made by UK public authorities — including the UKVI/Home Office.

If your application has been refused and you were not granted appeal rights, or if you’ve already exhausted all appeal options, this may be your only route to justice.

Unlike a traditional appeal, Judicial Review focuses on whether the law was applied correctly, and whether the decision-making process was fair and lawful.

When Can You Use Judicial Review?

You may be able to apply for Judicial Review if:

  • Your visa or immigration application was refused with no right of appeal

  • You believe the Home Office acted unlawfully or unfairly

  • You have already lost an appeal and all further appeal options are closed

  • The decision involved a procedural error, bias, or irrationality

We recommend seeking legal advice immediately — Judicial Review must be filed promptly, usually within 3 months of the refusal decision.

How We Handle the Process

Pre-Action Protocol (PAP)

Before applying to court, we send a formal letter to UKVI requesting them to reconsider their decision. They have 14 days to respond.

Filing the Judicial Review

If the Home Office refuses to change the decision, we prepare and file the application with the Upper Tribunal or High Court, depending on the case.

Representation and Advocacy

We guide you through every step — from drafting grounds for review to representing you in court if the case proceeds to a hearing.
