Challenging Public Bodies by Judicial Review| Time Limits | Kangs Solicitors Judicial Review Team
In two recent articles Kangs Solicitors have examined the nature of Judicial Reviews, outlined the procedures required and looked at the powers which can be exercised by the courts should it be considered that an injustice has been perpetrated or a rectifying procedure be made mandatory.

Strict time limits attach to all potential Judicial Review claims and it is essential that you seek immediate advice should a situation occur where you need to contemplate seeking such a Review.
In this third article we list some of those Departments, Authorities, Tribunals, Agencies and others whose decisions and activities may become open for review and explain how you may be able to fund any application which you wish to pursue.
The number of organisations issuing decisions or authorising activity affecting the lives of the population each day is endless and the following list is simply an indication of those whose decisions are frequently challenged by way of Judicial Review.
- Government Departments
- Local authorities policies and procedures and NHS trusts
- Chief constables and prison governors and decisions made by the probation ombudsman and investigations
- Magistrates/Crown, Coroners and County Courts
- Regulatory and Supervisory Bodies – especially in relation to businesses
- Some Tribunals
- Decisions made by the Independent Police Complaints Commission
