About Textbook on Administrative Law
The eighth 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 is how accountability is achieved through a 'grievance chain' comprising Parliament, informal methods of dispute resolution, ombudsmen, tribunals, and, particularly, the courts through judicial review. This edition remains accessible while fully exploring core areas of the subject and setting them in a contextual framework. It is recognized as an invaluable core text for LLB and GDL students and serves as a stimulating introduction for postgraduates and non-law undergraduates. The accompanying Online Resource Centre offers updates in constitutional and administrative law, an extensive range of web links, an interactive timeline of significant public law events, and 'Oxford News Now', a live feed on topical public law issues.
