One Pump Court’s immigration team barristers are all highly experienced public law specialists; indeed immigration law is a part of public law, which governs the relationship between individuals and the state. We advise and represent in cases where there is no right of appeal to the Immigration Tribunals and challenges must instead be brought on public law principles, usually through an action for judicial review. 

We frequently advise and represent in court on: 

• Judicial review of non-appealable decisions
• Injunctions, including the merits of an out-of-hours application
• Challenges to lawfulness of Home Office policy
• Certification of claims as “clearly unfounded”
• Challenges to “deport first appeal later” decisions
• Unlawful detention
• Age disputes
• Deprivation of British nationality and refusal to naturalise
• Allegations of deception and bad character
• Challenges to delays in decision making

We are highly recommended by the leading legal directories for our expertise in immigration-related public law.
