Challenging unlawful administrative decisions and holding organs of state to the standards required by law.
Decisions made by SARS, ITAC, licensing authorities and other organs of state must comply with the Promotion of Administrative Justice Act (PAJA) and the broader principles of administrative law. When they don't, affected parties have a right to challenge them.
We assist clients in reviewing administrative decisions that are unlawful, unreasonable, or procedurally unfair, including customs and excise determinations, permit refusals, and other regulatory rulings.
Administrative review applications are time-sensitive and technical. We work closely with our Customs & Excise, Trade and Regulatory teams to identify the right remedy and pursue it promptly.
Bringing PAJA review applications against unlawful administrative decisions.
Challenging decisions taken without proper notice or a fair hearing.
Requesting and assessing the adequacy of reasons given by decision-makers.
Urgent applications where administrative action threatens immediate harm.
Structured pre-litigation engagement to resolve disputes without court action.
Representation in internal appeal processes before litigation becomes necessary.
PAJA review applications are subject to strict time limits. If you believe a decision affecting you was taken unlawfully, contact us promptly.
