Judicial Review

When every appeal has failed and the decision was wrong in law.

When a foreign national has followed every remedy to appeal a Home Affairs decision and the application is still rejected, judicial review may be the next step.

A judicial review asks the High Court to intervene where Home Affairs rejected an application because of an error of law, and to set the decision aside.

When it applies

  • You have appealed and applied for review, and the application is still rejected.
  • You want the court to redress the rejection and overturn the decision.

How it works

  • Our legal team takes your instructions and prepares an application explaining how Home Affairs erred in making the decision.
  • The matter is heard as a High Court application.
  • If the application succeeds, legal costs may be claimed from Home Affairs.
