Actions against public authorities

Home > Areas of Law > Actions against public authorities   
Claims against a public authority, generally for damages, but can be for declarations, that the conduct was unlawful. The claims can be based upon negligence, breaches of human rights, assault and battery, unlawful arrest, false imprisonment, malicious prosecution, misfeasance in public office, discrimination, and the unlawful retention of data and personal information.

Claims against the police 

Claims against the police have a wide range of types, ranging from unlawful arrests, assaults, through to failure to arrest, investigate, or protecting individuals. They could also include deaths in custody or malicious prosecutions, through to loss or improper use of data. 

Education 
claims

Education establishments owe a duty of care to their students to not just ensure that the building is safe, but also the staff are properly trained vetted, and competent to deliver educational services. When an education facility fails to deliver, or refuses to deliver, a claim may be made against that provider. 

Unlawful Detention

The loss of liberty is a very serious loss of a right protected under both the common law and human rights. If detention is still on going, then urgent applications can be made to the High Court. If the detention has been concluded, but was unlawful, a declaration and or damages can be sought in the High Court, and damages in the County Court.
