Judicial Review of Administrative Action Across the Common Law World cover

Explores the English origins of the principles of judicial review in common law jurisdictions and autochthonous pressures for their adaptation.

This book explores the origins of judicial review of administrative action in a wide selection of common law jurisdictions. It provides complex insights and considers the way in which these jurisdictions have received and adapted English common law to the needs of their own socio-political context.Research on comparative administrative law, in contrast to comparative constitutional law, remains largely underdeveloped. This book plugs that gap. It considers how a wide range of common law systems have received and adapted English common law to the needs of their own socio-political context. Readers will be given complex insights into a wide range of common law systems of administrative law, which they may not otherwise have access to given how difficult it would be to research all of the systems covered in the volume single-handedly. The book covers Scotland, Ireland, the USA, Canada, Israel, South Africa, Kenya, Malaysia, Singapore, Hong Kong SAR, India, Bangladesh, Australia and New Zealand. Comparative public lawyers will have a much greater range of common law models of administrative law - either to pursue conversations about their own common law system or to sophisticate their comparison of their system (civil law or otherwise) with common law systems.
