A clear and informative guide to the most common types of administrative appeal

With expert tips to help you to present your own appeal

The Appeals Guide

Many disputes and appeals against official decisions are not decided in court but by appeal panels and tribunals.  Each has its own set of rules and procedures, which can appear daunting or confusing unless you know your way around them.  In each section of the Appeals Guide, barrister Ian Jones explains simply and clearly about the most common types of appeal.
