Judicial Review & Human Rights

Owen Beattie & Co. Solicitors have vast experience in the representation of clients in challenges against decisions of the state. Decisions of a public body can be challenged by way of Judicial Review.

Challenges such as this must be made promptly and traditionally within three months of the decision. Judicial Review is a complex area of law involving an application to the High Court to overturn the decision made by a state body may that be the PSNI, a health trust, prison or education body.

Our principal, Owen Beattie has experience in judicial review challenges against the following government bodies:

• Police Service of Northern Ireland
• Northern Ireland Prison Service
• Police Ombudsman for Northern Ireland
• Department of Justice
• Public Prosecution Service

We also provide support and assistance to families who have lost a loved one and the Coroner has directed an Inquest. We help and guide families during this process together with a experienced team of experts and barristers.
