Product Description

Administrative Law provides a detailed and clear examination of what is a conceptually difficult area of law. Craig s thorough and contextual approach to the subject has prompted thought, discussion and understanding among all those interested in the subject. The sixth edition has been extensively revised and updated to take account of the numerous developments in administrative law since the last edition published in 2003. This is reflected in the inclusion of two new chapters on judicial review of fact and on judicial review and equality. Legislative changes include the Constitutional Reform Act 2005, Inquiries Act 2005, Government of Wales Act 2006 and Tribunals, Courts and Enforcement Act 2007. The work continues to cover the impact of the Human Rights Act 1998 and the plethora of case law the Act has generated. Case law is discussed and analysed in detail, important examples being Ghaidan, A v Home Secretary, Carson, Hooper, and Nadarajah. Administrative Law is of relevance to those who are interested in the administrative system and those whose primary interest is judicial review. It provides a clear and readable exposition of a complex area of law, making it an invaluable text for students and academics alike.

Customer Reviews

Very thorough analysis of administrative law.
Craig offers a very thorough analysis of administrative law. My recomendation is for you to buy it only if you envisage to go further into the study of public and administrative law. The information provided is at times a bit difficult to understand and follow through due to the sheer amount of it.
It's quite a large book and may give you a few backaches if you carry it around univeristy in your bag!
Nevertheless, it is a book worth buying (slightly on the expensive side though).

Useful but expensive.
A very useful guide to the ins and outs of administrative law, but at what price? I would still go for it because it is essentially a must for law students - but remember to budget well, you've still got a few more books to buy yet...probably!
