Challenging Public and Planning Decisions

Frequently Asked Questions

How quickly can judicial review solicitors act in Nottingham?

Judicial review claims must be brought promptly and, in most cases, within three months of the decision or act (planning matters six weeks). Our judicial review solicitors advise on urgent permission-stage steps and interim relief strategies.

When should I instruct public law solicitors for a local authority dispute?

If a Nottingham council or public body has unlawfully fettered discretion, breached statutory duties, or denied procedural fairness, instruct public law solicitors early. A senior-led team will assess standing, merits and the most effective route—settlement, appeal or judicial review.

What remedies can a public law firm obtain against a government decision?

Remedies include quashing, mandatory or prohibiting orders, declarations, interim injunctions and, in limited circumstances, damages. Available relief depends on statutory scheme, urgency and proportionality; senior counsel frames enforceable, practical remedies tailored to the case.

How do information rights solicitors challenge FOI refusals in Nottingham?

Challenges usually follow internal review, then an Information Commissioner complaint and, if necessary, judicial review. For Nottingham public bodies evidence of procedural failings or public interest is crucial; senior-led teams manage statutory timelines and disclosure strategy.

Will a public law barrister lead my judicial review hearing?

Yes. A public law barrister typically conducts advocacy, drafts skeleton arguments and cross-examines witnesses. For complex Nottingham matters senior counsel can be instructed; solicitors and barristers coordinate to present focused, persuasive oral submissions.

What should I do if my licence is revoked by Nottingham City Council?

Seek immediate advice from regulatory and licensing solicitors to explore internal review, statutory appeal rights or judicial review where decisions are disproportionate or procedurally flawed. Early evidence preservation and interim relief applications are often decisive.

Can human rights solicitors combine HRA and equality law claims?

Yes. Human rights solicitors routinely combine Article 8 or 14 arguments with Equality Act claims and Public Sector Equality Duty challenges to strengthen judicial review or damages claims. A senior-led assessment determines the optimal pleading and remedy strategy.

When is immigration judicial review solicitors the appropriate route?

Judicial review is appropriate where no effective statutory appeal exists and the decision is unlawful, irrational or procedurally unfair. Immigration judicial review solicitors must act promptly—usually within three months—and will assess merits, remedies and interim relief.

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.
