What is public law and when should I seek public law advice?

Public law governs how public authorities exercise their powers and make decisions that affect individuals and organisations. You should seek public law advice when a government decision impacts your rights, duties, or lawful interests, particularly where fairness or legality is in question.

How does judicial review work and can Aldwych Legal assist?

Judicial review examines whether a public body acted lawfully, fairly, and within its powers. Aldwych Legal advises on merits, prepares applications, gathers evidence, and represents clients throughout the judicial review process in Birmingham and across the UK.

What regulatory and licensing matters fall under public law?

Public law covers regulatory and licensing decisions made by authorities, including compliance actions, refusals, revocations, and disciplinary proceedings. Solicitors assess decision-making processes and advise on challenges, appeals, or judicial review where appropriate.

How does public law protect human rights?

Public law safeguards human rights by allowing courts to review decisions that interfere with protected rights. Challenges may result in decisions being quashed, reconsidered, or amended to ensure lawful, proportionate, and non-discriminatory outcomes.

Can public law be used to challenge local authority decisions?

Yes. Local authority decisions can be challenged where they are unlawful, procedurally unfair, or irrational. Public law solicitors analyse the decision-making process, prepare grounds, and pursue remedies through judicial review or statutory appeals.

Do you advise on information rights and data protection issues involving public bodies?

Yes. Public law includes challenges relating to information rights, data protection, and access to records held by public authorities. Solicitors assist with refusals, delays, and unlawful handling of personal data, pursuing appropriate legal remedies.

Should a website visitor seek to ascertain the nature of our establishment, Aldwych Legal, it becomes essential for us to clarify the intricacies of our professional classification. Aldwych Legal is a legal consultancy, not a traditional solicitors’ firm. As an international legal consultancy and legal support organisation, we position ourselves distinctly apart from the conventional categorisation of a regulated solicitors’ practice. It is of paramount importance to transparently disclose that Aldwych Legal’s operational framework and support services remain independent of regulatory supervision by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) and the Bar Standards Board (BSB). Our multidisciplinary team consists of legally trained professionals who operate within the framework of unreserved legal activities permitted under the Legal Services Act 2007. Where a matter requires a reserved legal activity, we collaborate with, and where appropriate introduce clients to, carefully selected external solicitors and barristers from our professional network. These regulated practitioners operate under their own authorisation and regulatory obligations. Aldwych Legal continues to deliver high-calibre legal support, strategic advisory work, and comprehensive case preparation with the same diligence and rigour expected of any premier legal service provider, while maintaining full transparency regarding our regulatory status.
