Points of Law Challenges

Criminal Appeals

If a point of law arises in the Magistrates or Youth Court you will need advice on appealing that point to the High Court ( Divisional Court ).

This may be where the Magistrates interpret a legal point which then impacts on the fairness of your hearing. In such a case the route is to make application to the High Court.

In addition If you had a court of Appeal hearing and feel that an important point of Law has arisen of wider significance then it is possible to appeal to the Supreme Court if granted permission either by the Court of Appeal or on application directly to the Supreme Court.

The ultimate route of appeal from the Supreme Court is the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg.

We have experience at all levels up to and including the European Court of Human Rights. We can offer advice on making an appeal, what is required and how such a case is funded.
