The Public Law Department has a specialist quality mark from the Legal Services Commission. Public law encompasses a wide range of legal issues that can be challenged by way of judicial review. At Switalski’s we have a particular focus on public law challenges with a human rights component.

Here are some the public law or human rights issues we may be able to help you with:
  • Is someone lawfully detained?
  • The lawfulness of Local Authority decision relating to care needs
  • The fairness of a Tribunal hearing
  • The fairness of other policies limiting services
  • Cases which concern rights under the Human Rights Convention such as:
    • The right to life
    • The right not to be treated in a degrading manner
    • The right to family life
