Public Law sets out the Legal principles governing the exercise of powers by Public Authorities. Public Authorities, include the Home Office, NHS Trust, education authorities, the Prison Service, the Police, the Crown Prosecution Service, Local Authority Social Services Departments authorities, and the Department for Work and Pensions. Public authorities must exercise their powers fairly and rationally. Public authorities cannot exceed nor abuse the powers granted to them. Luqmani Thompson & Partners bring together many years experience of challenging the decisions of public authorities. We undertake litigation in a number of forums; from domestic tribunals and the High Court by way of Judicial Review of the decision complained of to the European Court of Human Rights.

We have helped people find their way through the labyrinth of rules and regulations to participate in decision making that affects them, to correct faulty decisions and to recover compensation when public authorities let them down. The Human Rights Act brings a new dimension and new tools to enable us to challenge decision making which is wrong in principle and in law and provides real remedies to real problems.
