Description Craig's thorough, contextual approach to administrative law has prompted thought and discussion amongst all those interested in the subject. This fifth edition provides a detailed, clear examination of this conceptually difficult area of law. There have been numerous significant developments in administrative law since the last edition in 1999, Legislative changes include the Local Government Acts 1999 and 2000, the Freedom of Information Act 2000 and the Regulatory Reform Act 2001. The impact of the Civil Procedure Rules on remedies is also assessed. The case law is discussed and analysed in detail, important examples being Alconbury and Runa Begum (on judicial review and process rights), R vA (on the interpretation of the Human Rights Act, s.3), Daly (on the standard of review under the Human Rights Act),Leonard Cheshire (on the meaning of public authority under the Human Rights Act), and Barrett and Phelps (on negligence liability). Much of this new edition has been completely rewritten and the entire text has been fully updated. This book will be of relevance to those who are interested in the administrative system and those whose primary interest lies in judicial review. It provides a clear and readable exposition of a complex area of law, and will be welcomed by students and academics alike. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents Part 1: The Administrative System 1.
