Control of Government Action Text, Cases and Commentary
Robin Creyke
This highly-respected work provides authoritative coverage of the legal controls on government decision-making in each Australian jurisdiction, supported by legislation, case extracts and commentary. The different role played by courts, tribunals, ombudsmen and other review bodies is comprehensively covered. The criteria applied by those bodies in reviewing the legality and propriety of government administrative action are examined in an integrated manner that best shows the options available to an aggrieved person. Public law concepts and theories that influence government decision-making and administrative review are covered.
