Public law governs the relationship between individuals and the state. It is used to challenge the lawfulness of decisions and policies of public authorities, regulators and government bodies.

How quickly do I need to act?

Public law claims are subject to strict time limits — usually three months from the decision being challenged, and sometimes shorter. Early advice is essential.

Do I need to exhaust other remedies first?

In most cases, yes. The court will expect you to have raised the issue with the public body and considered any internal review or appeal route before bringing a public law challenge.
