Our lawyers represent clients in judicial review proceedings before the Court of Appeal, including applications for prerogative writs. These proceedings may concern the validity of administrative decisions, failures to perform statutory duties, regulatory action, licensing matters, public appointments, disciplinary proceedings, procurement decisions and other exercises or abuses of public power.
We also advise and represent clients in Fundamental Rights applications before the Supreme Court of Sri Lanka, particularly where executive or administrative action has resulted in an actual or imminent infringement of constitutionally protected rights. Our work includes matters concerning equality and equal protection of the law, unlawful arrest and detention, freedom of speech and expression, freedom of peaceful assembly and association, freedom of religion, discrimination and other violations arising from State action.
Given the strict procedural requirements and time limitations applicable to constitutional and public-law proceedings, we provide timely advice on the merits of each matter, available remedies and the appropriate legal strategy. Our approach combines careful constitutional analysis, detailed review of administrative records and focused advocacy to protect our clients’ rights, uphold procedural fairness and ensure that public authorities remain accountable to the law.
