Urgent pre-litigation casework auditing and defensibility reviews for public bodies facing a Pre-Action Protocol Letter of Claim or active judicial review threat.
When a claimant serves a **Letter Before Action (LBA)** or formal Letter of Claim under the Pre-Action Protocol for Judicial Review, public bodies have a very limited window (typically 14 days) to respond.
In the rush to formulate a legal response, internal teams are often forced to review disorganized records, conflicting panel logs, and incomplete Care Act assessments under extreme pressure. Determining which decisions are legally defensible and which contain procedural errors is critical to deciding whether to settle or defend.
Our **Judicial Review Defence Preparation** service provides an urgent, independent review of the challenged decision's case files. We identify factual errors, procedural gaps, and rational inconsistencies, giving your legal team a clear analysis to support their response strategy.
We prioritize rapid data setup and audit execution to deliver a detailed, factual review that helps your legal team decide whether to concede, renegotiate, or contest the claim.
Immediate execution of secure NDAs and transmission of fully anonymised case files, assessment records, panel logs, and the Letter Before Action.
We review the decision trail to evaluate the lawfulness, rationality, and procedural fairness of the challenged decision.
