Faculty Research Seminar: 'From the Outside In and the Inside Out: Administrative Policies and Administrative Law'

Speaker: Dr Alistair Mills

Abstract: Administrative policies are central to modern public decision-making, to such an extent that some scholars refer to them as ‘internal administrative law’. But such policies may be subject to judicial review: an interaction between internal and external controls on decision-making. Policies may also affect the contours of judicial review claims against specific decisions. This paper considers the relationship between these policies and the law, and especially whether there can be a sensible classification of judicial review challenges to policies, with reference to the purpose of policies and the purpose of administrative law.

Lunch provided. These sessions are intended for members of the Faculty and PhD students.
