Judicial Review: The Laws of Australia

Judicial review is an expanding and constantly evolving area of law. Challenging the validity of administrative or executive decisions in the Federal Court of Australia or the state Supreme Courts has become a large part of everyday practice for many practitioners.

Judicial Review – The Laws of Australia acquaints practitioners and students with the principles of Judicial Review in Australia. It is an encyclopaedic and practical work which covers judicial review of administrative decisions at the state, territory and federal levels.

The text covers:

• the administrative law system in Australia;
• delegated legislation and judicial review challenges;
• what are reviewable decisions and conduct;
• the grounds of judicial review;
• procedural fairness (a separate and detailed treatment); and
• remedies in judicial review.
