Foundations of UK Administrative Law: The Common Law Method, Values and Contestation

The lecture considers the evolution of UK Administrative law, setting this against a more general model of how the common law evolves. The principal themes of the emergent case law are examined against the backdrop of the changing administrative system. The focus then shifts to the relationship between theory, values and fact in Administrative law, and the respective role played by the common law and legislative intent in the development of this body of law.
