Pre-Action Protocol Letter
About Pre-Action Protocol Letter
A pre-action protocol letter is the formal step before judicial review. It puts the Home Office on notice that the decision is being challenged, sets out the grounds, and gives them a chance to withdraw or replace the decision without proceedings. Many cases settle at this stage when the letter is sharp and the legal argument is clear. RakLAW drafts pre-action letters that are taken seriously, including in urgent removal cases where the timetable can be measured in hours.
