The Public Law of Wales Administrative Justice in and Comparative Perspectives

Administrative Justice is about public decision-making and the relationship between citizen and state in areas such as health, education, welfare and planning. It includes the law that applies to public body decision-making and the methods for challenging decisions. This book offers a unique understanding of what administrative justice means in Wales and for Wales, whilst also providing an expert and timely analysis of comparative developments in law and administration. It includes critical analysis of distinctly Welsh administrative laws and redress measures, whilst examining contemporary administrative justice issues across a range of common and civil law, European and international jurisdictions. Key issues include the roles of commissioners, administrative courts, tribunals and ombudsmen in devolved and federal nations, and evolving relationships between citizens and the state – especially in the context of localisation and austerity – and will be of interest to legal and public administration professionals at home and internationally.
