Details

This book discusses some of the most important issues facing administrative law and related doctrines.

Leading public law scholars from across the common law world have contributed chapters to recognise the exceptional scholarship and career of Matthew Groves, Distinguished Professor at Deakin University, Australia.

Over the last century, the power of the administrative state has grown immensely and the scope of administrative law as a field of inquiry has grown with it. This collection of essays provides an up-to-date analysis of some of the most important issues in administrative law in the 2020s, including: access to justice issues; the role, purpose and future of ombuds institutions and tribunals; government liability within and beyond judicial review; integrity bodies; 'lawfare'; the role of policies in government decision-making; and the tension between military and civilian systems of justice. These topics have been central to the work and career of Matthew Groves.

Readers interested in public law – whether practitioners, researchers or students – will discover a wealth of engaging and thought-provoking considerations of the most topical current issues in administrative law by a selection of prominent academics.
