Before you proceed
The questions
that matter.
Should a refusal be challenged or should a fresh application be made?
That depends upon the error in the decision, the available procedure, the evidence and the client's wider objective. A challenge should not be pursued merely because a decision is adverse.
When is judicial review relevant?
Judicial review may be relevant where there is no adequate alternative remedy and the decision or process is arguably unlawful. It requires early analysis of merits, timing and practical outcome.
Can you assist where the facts are sensitive or reputationally significant?
Yes. Jayesh has substantial experience in matters requiring discretion, including cases involving international protection, politically sensitive facts and wider reputational considerations.
