Synopsis

This second edition pursues the same aims as the first: to provide a clear and relatively short statement of the most important rules concerning judicial control of governmental administrative activity, and to provide a wider framework for understanding those rules. This framework is provided by considering the constitutional context of judicial control; the relationship between judicial control and other mechanisms for checking administrative activity; and the impact of judicial control on the agencies subject to it. What emerges clearly from considering judicial control in this wider context is that the role of the court in adjudicating complaints about governmental administrative action is not that of neutral arbiter but that of active participant in the public decision-making process. It is hoped that this book will provide readers with a concise but critical analysis of the law. This book is aimed at under-graduate law students studying administrative law as a second or third-year option or constitutional and administrative law as a first or second year compulsory subject.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This is the fourth edition of Peter Cane's Administrative Law, offering a straightforward but sophisticated account of an increasingly complex and important area of law, written in a lively and stimulating manner. The text, which has been extensively revised, takes full account of the many dramatic developments in English public law in recent years in areas such as devolution, human rights and freedom of information. The text has three mains aims: to provide a clear and concise account of the law concerning judicial control of public administrative power, to suggest political and theoretical perspectives that can help readers to understand the law better, and to explore the relationship between judicial and other forms of control such as ombudsmen and tribunals. An underlying theme of the analysis is to show that the role of courts in controlling public power is not that of neutral arbiter between 'citizen and state' but rather that of active participant in public decision-making processes.
