FULL NOTES (DISTINCTION) LAWS2010/LAWS5010 ADMINISTRATIVE LAW - WITH SCAFFOLDS

Description

Administrative law is a finely complex, conceptual and technical area of law. It involves seemingly vague concepts, between which the differences seem minuscule and confusing. This set of notes helped me cut through the confusion and attain a Distinction mark in this course. Section I provides a full set of notes for the entire course, with detailed case notes (fact-issue-ratio-judgment) and analysis. Section II provides tips on exam technique and scaffolds for the most complicated and hardest parts of the course. Topics: - Introduction to administrative law - Merits review - Judicial review - jurisdiction of the courts* - Standing - Judicial review of rule-making - Procedural fairness* - Considerations (failing to have regard to relevant considerations / having regard to irrelevant considerations), purposes, policies and representations* - Unreasonableness* - Errors of law and fact (objective jurisdictional facts, subjective jurisdictional facts)* - Jurisdictional error* - Judicial review remedies ( certiorari, mandamus, prohibition, injunction, declaration)* - Restricting jurisdictional review* * denotes a corresponding scaffold
