CPL Seminar: 'Administrative Law: Context and Logic'

Farewell to Alistair Mills, Fellow and Dias College Assistant Professor in Law, Magdalene College; Affiliated Lecturer.

'In law context is everything': so said Lord Steyn in R (Daly) v Secretary of State for the Home Department. As public lawyers, we tend to quote this a great deal, but how seriously do we take it? There is a place for studying general administrative law doctrine: it does influence how courts determine cases. But approaches to teaching and research which view administrative law principles abstracted from specific legal and factual contexts risk being incomplete and insufficient. In this (very much!) work in progress session, I will seek to explore the insights which can be gleaned from studying administrative law in its sectoral context, with particular reference to the consequences of administrative errors.
