Public Law
Ryan is a member of the Attorney General’s Junior Junior Scheme and he is regularly instructed by GLD to provide drafting assistance, typically in the context of judicial review applications to the Upper Tribunal/High Court.
Recent instructions include:
- drafting Summary Grounds in respect of a JR against the SSHD for refusing to provide the Appellant with a British passport. Permission to bring the JR was refused and the SSHD was awarded her costs.
- drafting Summary Grounds in respect of a JR against the SSHD for failing to provide the Appellant (who was on immigration bail) with suitable accommodation.
- drafting Summary Grounds in respect of an Article 6 JR against the SSHD for ordering the Appellant’s removal from the UK.
Ryan maintains an interest in public law more broadly. He was the winner of the Lee Essay Prize in 2019 for an article on parliamentary sovereignty, and in July 2020 wrote for Counsel Magazine on the challenges facing any future inquiry into Covid-19 (see here).
In April 2022, Ryan joined the Post Office Horizon IT Inquiry as Junior Junior Counsel. He is separately instructed by HMRC on the UK Covid-19 Inquiry.
