Judicial review

Since 1976 we have handled every judicial review brought against An Bord Pleanala, the vast majority of them successfully. We have done the same for the Environmental Protection Agency since 1994 when it was set up. Our more important recent cases can all be found on the Courts Service and British and Irish Legal Information Institute websites (www.bailii.org and www.courts.ie).

Judicial review is all about fair procedures – the right to a fair hearing in accordance with law before an impartial adjudicator. We know the potential pitfalls. We know how to explain to the Court what procedures were adopted and why. At any time, we are likely to be handling up to 10% of the judicial review cases coming before the High Court on a given Monday. We have been involved in many of the cases where the major rules were laid down and where the law has been interpreted. Whether you are seeking to challenge or defend a decision, or merely want advice on best practice, we have the experience to help.
