Risks & important considerations
Choosing the remedy
Judicial review examines lawfulness, not whether you deserve a different visa decision. A suitable appeal or review may need to be considered first.
Procedural urgency
Claims have strict procedural requirements and time limits. Pre-action correspondence does not automatically pause the time available to bring proceedings.
Permission and costs
The court or tribunal usually considers permission before a claim proceeds. Court fees, specialist advocacy and potential adverse costs need careful assessment.
