Practice area
Administrative Litigation
Disputes with public authorities: unlawful administrative acts, unjustified refusal to decide a request, permits and planning documentation.
The relationship between a private party and a public authority is, by its nature, unequal. Administrative litigation law corrects that imbalance, but only in favour of those who exercise their rights in time and in the prescribed form.
We challenge unlawful administrative acts and take action where an authority fails to respond to a request within the legal deadline or unjustifiably refuses to decide it. Where appropriate, we apply for a stay of enforcement of the act and for compensation for the harm caused.

How we work, in five steps.
Reviewing the documents
We examine the contracts, decisions, official records and correspondence. Any serious strategy starts from the documents.
The options
We set out what can be done, what cannot, and where the weak points of the case lie. Prospects and risks are discussed in concrete terms.
The strategy
We agree together on the course to follow and record it in the legal assistance agreement.
Representation
We represent you until the procedure is concluded and, where necessary, through to enforcement of the judgment.
