Choose the procedural route first
A workshop does not replace action on a running deadline
Where a request, report, decision or other document already sets a response deadline, first identify the procedural stage and available action. Start with the situations section.
Review an urgent situation →What the session covers
The session uses your documents and situation. We first establish the document, date, current stage and nearest deadline, then agree the questions to address.
- reading a customs request or inspection report
- assembling evidence before replying
- preparing the basis for an appeal or court case
