Administrative and Migration Law

Administrative law regulates the relationship between the state and its people — in other words, the relationship between the government and the governed.

Immigration law is a branch of administrative law. The officers of Immigration and other administrative bodies are required to make their decisions in accordance with the laws and policies.

History shows that not all administrative decisions are made without a legal error. There could be a range of reasons including identifying a wrong issue, asking wrong questions, ignoring relevant material, relying on irrelevant material, failing to observe procedural fairness, deciding without evidence, failing to consider all aspects of a claim, or applying a policy inflexibly.

Detection of those issues to the standard of jurisdictional error is a complex process, and often at Tribunal or even judicial review stages, such errors remain disputed. We can help you through this complex process of administrative law.
