Information leaflets
The advice sheets and guides available from here are intended to give an introductory guide to the subjects covered for anyone who is interested. They are not written in legal jargon but are accurate and up to date enough for legal advisers as well as lay readers.
The advice sheets and guides are available in pdf format only. You can download Adobe Acrobat Reader for free from here.
Please note that PLP will be releasing a number of new and updated information guides in early 2013. Although much of what is contained in the guides below is still relevant some recent developments are not accounted for, including the Implementation of the Tribunals, Courts and Enforcements Act 2007, and the regionalisation of the administrative court in 2009.
Please do check back soon for our updated guides.

"The basis of judicial review rests in the free-standing principle that every action of a public body must be justified by law..."
