Public/Administrative Law

Facing challenges with public authorities can be complex, especially when your rights are at risk. At DCK Solicitors, we do more than provide legal representation—we are your advocates, committed to ensuring justice and accountability when dealing with public bodies. Whether it’s challenging unlawful actions, pursuing Judicial Reviews, or defending against police misconduct, our expertise in Public and Administrative Law ensures that your case is handled with precision and determination. With a history of successful outcomes, we are dedicated to turning legal challenges into opportunities for justice.

We work with both private paying clients and those on Conditional Fee Agreements (CFA), offering flexibility in how we deliver our services while maintaining the highest standards of legal support.

We focus on three key areas within public and administrative law:

Action Against Public Authorities

We represent individuals and organizations taking action against unlawful decisions or misconduct by public bodies, including local councils, government agencies, and housing associations. Our expertise ensures that your case is handled with diligence, whether you’re challenging policies, housing issues, or breaches of public law principles.

Action Against the Police

If your rights have been violated by the police—through wrongful arrest, misconduct, or excessive force—we are here to help. Our team specializes in taking legal action against police authorities to ensure justice is served and accountability is upheld.

Judicial Review

Judicial Review allows you to challenge the lawfulness of decisions made by public bodies. This could involve decisions by the Parole Board, NHS trusts, or local authorities. Our team has successfully handled Judicial Review cases in the High Court, ensuring that decisions made by public bodies are lawful, follow proper procedures, and respect your rights.

Flexible Payment Options: Private and CFA Clients

We now primarily serve private paying clients and those opting for Conditional Fee Agreements (CFA). Please note that VAT is charged at the standard rate of 20%.
