The seventh edition of Textbook on Administrative Law has been substantially revised and updated to provide a concise and topical account of this fast-moving area of law.

The guiding theme of this acclaimed textbook is how accountability is achieved through a 'grievance chain' comprising Parliament, informal methods of dispute resolution, ombudsmen, tribunals, and, particularly, by the courts through judicial review. This edition remains as accessible as ever, fully exploring the core areas of the subject and setting them in a contextual framework. In addition to wide-spread recognition as an invaluable core text for LLB and GDL students, Textbook on
Administrative Law is a stimulating introduction for for undergraduate LLB students, postgraduate students in public law and for non-law undergraduates with an interest in this field.

Zielgruppe

Undergraduates studying administrative law, either as a standalone topic or as part of a public (constitutional and administrative) law module.
