Description

The course offers a broad range of topics, spanning remedies for state liability in tort, remedies for maladministration, judicial review, statutory interpretation, tribunal justice and public functions which are performed by private entities. It also looks at areas in which the law can develop and challenges the orthodox interpretations of public law’s limits.

Main Topics
  • an evaluation of different remedies which may be available in public law
  • the centrality of “government” for public law, and the question of whether it remains an organising principle in light of the state's increasing use of private sector bodies for governmental purposes
  • judicial review of private sector bodies and other remedies available against public bodies
  • the extent to which different jurisdictions allow for substantive enforcement of legitimate expectations
  • an analysis of recent cases which have featured judicial review of government policy
