Judicial Review
Fri 13-Jul-07 12:28 PM

I am looking for some advise regarding Judicial Review against a Commissioners refusal for Leave to Appeal.

A client has until the 25th July 2007 (!) to make his application. He came to see me yesterday. I cannot find any solicitor or law centre in Norfolk that will take the case on with legal aid.

Any ideas of agencies in Norfolk / Suffolk that offer an appropriate service?

Thanks

You could try speaking to the LSC or doing a search on the LSCdirect website.

In the meantime you might find it useful to read the JR pre-action protocol which you can find at:

What grounds do you anticipate that client has?

There is (or was) only one solicitor with a welfare rights LSC contract in Kings Lynn - Hawkins - in Norfolk they are few and far between .....
