Judicial Review

When a board, tribunal, municipality, or government decision-maker makes a decision that appears unfair or outside its authority, judicial review may be available. We help clients understand whether that process fits the issue they are facing.

Civil Judicial Review

Judicial review is different from an appeal. It focuses on whether the decision-making process was fair, whether the decision-maker stayed within its legal authority, and whether the outcome is legally defensible.

Judicial review is about the legality of the process and the authority behind the decision, not simply whether you dislike the result.

These matters are technical and often time-sensitive. We help clients review the decision, the available record, and the possible grounds quickly so they can understand whether judicial review is a realistic option.

Common Grounds for Judicial Review

Not every unfair-feeling decision is reviewable. We help clients identify whether there is a real legal issue the court can address.

Unreasonable Decisions: Reviewing whether the reasoning and result can be justified on the record.
Errors of Law: Assessing whether the decision-maker applied the wrong legal framework or misunderstood its role.
Jurisdiction and Fairness Issues: Addressing questions about authority, process, notice, bias, or opportunity to respond.

If you are considering judicial review of a civil or administrative decision, we can help you understand the process, the risks, and whether the issue is one the court is likely to address.
