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.
