Administrative law

Administrative litigation

When a matter calls for judicial review of administrative action, preparation of the file matters. We assess the proposed proceedings, the supporting evidence and the outcome sought before defining how the case should be presented.

How we can help

Reviewing the administrative file

We review the action being challenged, its background and the steps already taken. Together, we identify which facts are documented, what information is missing and the legal issues on which the claim would need to be based.

Ordinary or abbreviated proceedings

The procedural route depends on the subject matter and applicable rules. We explain how your case would be brought, the preparation it needs and the scope of our engagement. An abbreviated procedure does not itself guarantee a quick resolution.

Interim measures

Where the effects of administrative action need to be addressed during proceedings, we assess a request for interim measures. We consider urgency, supporting documents and the interests involved when preparing the grounds for an application to the competent court.

A clearly defined engagement

We organise written submissions and evidence within the agreed scope of work. We explain significant decisions and next steps, distinguishing the initial proceedings from any appeal or later action that needs to be considered and agreed separately.

Frequently asked questions

Is the abbreviated procedure always appropriate?

No. The applicable procedure depends on the matter and the statutory rules. We identify it when reviewing the case.

Does filing the claim stop the administrative action?

Filing alone does not mean the action is suspended. Where needed, we assess a specific application for interim relief; the court decides whether to grant it.
