Appeals & Judicial Review
Persons who have had their asylum claim refused or been refused entry clearance, further leave to remain or a variation of their current leave will often have a right to appeal against that decision. In many cases, though, there will be no right of appeal and the only challenge will be by way of application for Judicial Review in the High Court.
Cole & Yousaf Solicitors specialise in the preparation and presentation of appeals before the Immigration & Asylum Chamber of the First-tier Tribunal and in onward appeals to the Upper Tribunal (IAC) and the Court of Appeal. We have extensive experience of challenging Home Office decisions by way of Judicial Review in the High Court.
Even if we did not deal with your original application or appeal, then you can still come to us for advice and assistance on an application that has been refused or an appeal that has been dismissed. If you have received a negative decision, then you should not delay getting advice and assistance as there is often a strict time-limit for taking further action.
Where a decision of the Home Office does not carry a right of appeal, then it is usually possible to have that decision reviewed by the High Court by making an application for Judicial Review.
Whatever your circumstances, we can advise you on the possibility appealing a refusal, on the possibility of applying for judicial review of a decision, on the possibility of appealing to the Upper Tribunal or for permission to appeal to the Court of Appeal after the dismissal of an appeal. We can advise on the prospects of success, the costs implications, and on your alternative courses of action.
