Have you got a claim against the local authority?

Claims against local authorities are claims made by individuals or businesses against local authorities. These claims can be made for a variety of reasons, including negligence, breach of contract, or discrimination.

You can challenge a local authority or council’s decision to place you on a waiting list if you think there has been a mistake or relevant information has not been taken into account.

Crystal Law Solicitors have a successful history of acting on behalf of clients in dispute with their local authority on a range of matters, from planning, housing, discrimination, unfair practices to waiting list processes. We have on a number of occasions taken actions and successfully judicially reviewed local authorities on actions and decisions they have made.
