Description

A sophisticated, clear and engaging explanation of administrative law.

Principles of Administrative Law offers a sophisticated yet clear account of what can be a dense and complex subject area. The principles, concepts and ways of thinking offered, provide pathways to a deeper understanding of the primary materials of administrative law, challenging readers to consider the role it plays in the control of public or governmental power in a contemporary setting. The book encourages critical reflection on the key questions: ‘What is administrative law?’, ‘What does it do, and how?’ and ‘Why is it needed?’.

This book is supported by Cases for Principles of Administrative Law; a volume which guides further reading and reflection and includes cases which illustrate the core concepts and principles of administrative law.
