Welcome to the 3 Paper Buildings Public Law
and Regulatory Group’s
web pages. We hope that the information that you find here will
both assist and inform you about what our experienced and friendly
group has to offer.
Public and administrative law has been practised at 3 Paper Buildings
for many years. During that time its importance and jurisdiction
has expanded greatly
and public law now takes on many guises and features in cases heard before
specialist Tribunals, Magistrates’ Courts, Crown and County Courts, the
High Court and beyond.
Here at 3 Paper Buildings we have constantly strived to meet the challenges
and changes that this area of the law has brought about.
Such is the breadth of the work that we undertake, we have taken a conscious
decision to offer truly specialist practitioners in particular areas of what
can be broadly be described as administrative law, although some of those areas
cross the border between the civil and criminal law jurisdictions. The group
is divided into the following specialist units. Follow the links for more information:
Administrative law and planning unit
Education law unit
Proceeds of crime unit
Regulatory compliance and consumer protection unit
Please do not hesitate to contact one of our dedicated Public Law and Regulatory
Group clerks, either David Phillips or Mark Heath, for more
information on our group and the services we offer.
