Administrative Law: Context and Critique


Overview

Developments in administrative law are inevitably bound up with economic, social and political trends. Students, advocates and legal practitioners alike cannot ignore these developments. This sixth edition examines the creation, powers and initial performance of the federal Administrative Review Tribunal (ART), which commenced in October 2024 to replace the discredited Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT). It further updates the law to examine recent High Court and other superior court decisions, including the twists and turns of the courts on refugees and indefinite immigration detention. Important decisions have also been handed down dealing with issues such as standing, procedural fairness, jurisdictional error and ultra vires, and these are all critically examined and explained. These developments highlight the ever-evolving shape of administrative law. They underscore a central argument of this book – the necessity to examine the content and trajectory of administrative law in its political, administrative and socio-economic settings. Once again, pithy summaries and analyses are provided.
