Description

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.

Mark Robinson SC, Editor, is a senior counsel based in Sydney practising in administrative law and general law for over 25 years. Mark leads an impressive team of authors and editors comprising some of the best administrative law lawyers and academics in Australia today. 

This material is also published as part of Title 2 "Administrative Law" of The Laws of Australia legal encyclopaedia. As such it retains that work’s easy-to-read style: each main paragraph opens with a bold proposition that encapsulates the relevant legal principle, while the text that follows sets out and analyses complexities, nuances and developments in the law. Extensive referencing makes this work the ideal starting point for research across any Australian jurisdiction.
