Questions

Can I apply from the UK?

Yes. The United Kingdom is a party to the European Convention on Human Rights, so anyone whose rights were affected by a UK public authority can apply to the Court in Strasbourg.

How much time do I have?

Since 1 February 2022 the time limit is 4 months from the final domestic decision. Late applications are rejected, so act early.

Do I need a lawyer?

Not to file the application. But the Court rejects most applications as inadmissible, often for formal reasons — careful preparation matters. If the case is communicated to the government, representation is normally required.

How much does it cost?

It depends on your case and on the service you need. Sending a request costs nothing; we tell you the fee before any work begins.

Is my information confidential?

Yes. Your details are used only to answer your request and are never shared with third parties.
