Administrative Tribunals in the Common Law World

Administrative tribunals are a vital part of the public law frameworks of most countries. This is the first edited book collection to examine tribunals across the common law world. It brings together key international scholars to discuss current and future challenges.

The book features leading scholars from all major common law jurisdictions – the UK, the USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, Israel, Hong Kong, Singapore, India, and South Africa. This global analysis is both deep and expansive in its coverage of the operation of administrative tribunals across common law legal systems. The book has two key themes: one is the enduring question of the location and operation of tribunals within public law systems; the second is the continued mission of tribunals to provide administrative justice.

The collection is an important addition to public law scholarship, addressing common problems faced in the tribunals of common law countries, and providing solutions for how tribunals can evolve to match the changing nature of government.
