If you are an adviser and you would like to refer a potential test case to CPAG
CPAG’s Upper Tribunal Project Assistance Project can take on a limited number of additional appeals in the First-tier or Upper Tribunal, principally where they have the potential to benefit families with children in poverty.
Support with an Upper Tribunal case
CPAG has a contract with the Legal Aid Agency to advise a certain number of clients each year in relation to actual or potential judicial review proceedings, again principally where they have the potential to benefit families with children in poverty.
This includes some decisions of the First-tier Tribunal which can only be challenged by judicial review, rather than on appeal. Where this arises, CPAG’s solicitors may be able to help.
Please complete our test case referral form
Additionally, CPAG's Judicial Review Project may be able to provide assistance or already have a template letter on the particular issue.
Support with the judicial review process
CPAG intervenes in existing cases where we believe our evidence and expertise will assist the Tribunal or Court and further our charitable aims.
If you are involved in proceedings that you think would benefit from CPAG’s intervention, please complete our test case referral form.
Regrettably we cannot take referrals of test cases from Scotland. The reason for this is that CPAG’s solicitors are based in London and we cannot apply for legal aid in Scotland or instruct counsel there.
