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.
