Decision-making delay
Identify the stage reached and what the authority has failed to decide.
Delay can become a decision of its own.
We help you understand the decision, the evidence and the steps that may be available. The right approach depends on the particular facts and procedure.

Where we can help.
Each matter has its own facts. These are the questions we can help you assess and address.

Document gaps between the plan and what is actually supplied.
Unlawful decisions
Examine reasons, evidence and the legal route for challenge.
Urgent public law response
Consider a focused letter or specialist court route where immediate action is necessary.
Where it starts
Does this sound familiar?
Early advice can help identify the immediate issue and protect the available options.
The authority stops responding
Requests for assessment or provision remain unresolved.
A plan is not being delivered

Common questions
Before you make a move.
The answer depends on your documents and the procedure that applies.
Is judicial review always necessary?
No. The right route depends on the failure, urgency and alternative remedies.
Can a delay be challenged before a final decision?
Sometimes the failure to make a required decision is itself the issue. The facts need prompt assessment.
What should I send first?
Send the decision, the relevant deadline and the key documents. A short timeline helps us understand what happened.
