High Court Judicial Review Applications

If you believe a decision made by the Department of Home Affairs, the Director-General, or the Minister of Home Affairs regarding your immigration matter is unlawful, unreasonable, or procedurally unfair, you may have grounds for a judicial review. Wentzel Attorneys can assist you in challenging such decisions through a High Court application. We will meticulously analyze the decision, identify any legal errors, and present a compelling case to the court, seeking to have the decision set aside or reviewed.
