Six stages
Stage 1: Private intake and conflict screening
We begin with limited status information and basic contact details. We explain how sensitive materials would be received, identify possible conflicts and check whether urgent national legal representation is needed.
Stage 2: Understand the original CCF decision
We establish what the CCF decided, what was submitted, which provisions mattered and which facts were already known. A refusal is not proof of professional error, nor evidence that a second application can succeed.
Stage 3: Identify potential newly discovered facts
The chronology separates new developments, newly accessible records, previously known information and new interpretations of old material. The date of first discovery is recorded and assessed for Article 42.
Stage 4: Targeted evidence work
Where justified, qualified local lawyers pursue lawful records and certified decisions. Each source is reviewed for authenticity, factual significance and limitations.
Stage 5: Feasibility and submission plan
Only then does the team recommend whether to explore a revision. The current CCF portal guidance provides for a two-page initial summary of newly discovered facts, with supporting documents later if the Commission requests them.
Stage 6: Coordination and case management
Instructed counsel may also handle national court deadlines, extradition proceedings or UN mechanisms. None of them is turned into a promise that the CCF will change its decision.
What you can expect
What is and is not included, agreed in writing.
Who does each task, including outside counsel.
What was received, from whom, and when.
Facts, opinions and allegations kept apart.
We do not guarantee acceptance, relief or response times.
When this is not the right service
If you are detained or an extradition hearing is imminent, the first call is to a qualified lawyer in that country. If there is no new fact and none is realistically obtainable, the honest advice may be not to file. Both are legitimate outcomes of the first stage.
