Governance, Constitutional and Public law

Overview

We advise on everything from routine governance issues to a full governance crisis. We regularly advise on Council constitutions, powers, delegation to committees and responding to past governance errors. Examples include:

  • Advising and representing councils and councillors in Code of Conduct violations
  • Governance and constitutional issues raised by local government reorganisation
  • Advising authorities concerning the exercise of their powers to invest in land: (1) for commercial gain; (2) for social housing; and (3) regeneration
  • Defending many claims for judicial review, including for London borough in challenges to use of delegated powers; to composition of committees and to revocation of certificates under various statutory schemes wrongfully secured from the local authority.
