How long do I have to challenge a decision?
It depends on the decision, and some deadlines are very short. Call with the decision letter as soon as you receive it.

Tribunals, licences, benefits and government decisions — the rules explained in plain language, and your side put clearly.
Overview
Government and tribunal decisions
When a government body, regulator or tribunal makes a decision about your licence, your benefits or your rights, the process that follows has its own rules and its own clock.

Questions
Before your consultation
Can a court review a tribunal's decision?
In some cases, yes. Whether review is available, and the right route, is what a consultation assesses.
Is this connected to my immigration matter?
It can be. The firm practises both, and they can be handled together.
