Chambers has built a strong reputation for expertise in judicial review across a wide range of fields both civil and criminal. Administrative law remedies inform all areas of Chambers' practice and members of Chambers are alive to the possibilities for challenge to administrative decision-making, particularly in light of the Human Rights Act 1998.
Members of Chambers regularly provide training to other legal professionals in judicial review practice and procedure (including regular updates) as well as providing advice and representation on judicial review in substantive areas of law including Education , Community Care , Mental Health , Prisoner's Rights , Inquests , Social Welfare (including Benefits), Housing , Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority, Local Government, Environmental, Immigration and Nationality , ASBO proceedings and all areas engaging the exercise of public law functions.
Chambers has a commitment to the Community Legal Service and therefore places emphasis on providing representation to individuals and community groups who may be affected adversely by poor quality administrative decision-making.
