General Legal Services

• ADMINISTRATIVE LAW

Authorities set up by governments exercising administrative functions play an ever-increasing and direct role in an enormous range of activities in modern society. Vast decision-making powers are committed to government authorities and tribunals and it is the lawyers function to ensure that those powers are kept within legal bounds to protect the citizen against their abuse.

Parish Patience provides advice to clients on their dealings with government authorities, the decisions made by them, and the institution of any necessary appeals to particular tribunals exercising review authority over such decisions. One of the major areas where such reviews are often necessary is immigration.
