What we do PLP is committed to promoting progressive reforms to judicial review and wider constitutional reforms. Legislative and policy reforms pursued by the current Government risk seriously undermining the mechanisms by which marginalised groups can challenge public bodies. We continue to focus on the development and dissemination of accessible research and evidence-based storytelling to counter inaccurate and harmful narratives that seek to limit government accountability. How we do it Casework PLP regularly represents individuals and charities in cases to help them to challenge unfair systems, enforce their rights, and to improve access to judicial review.

We also publish resources on how public law and strategic litigation can be used to challenge unfair systems and to clarify the law in the wider public interest. We regularly produce consultation responses and briefings for Parliamentarians.
