Wade & Forsyth's Administrative Law provides a comprehensive and perceptive account of the principles of judicial review and a sketch of the administrative arrangements of the United Kingdom. Since publication of the first edition in 1961, Administrative Law has established itself amongst the foremost rank of legal textbooks, and is frequently cited with approval in the higher courts.
In the tenth edition, Christopher Forsyth has brought this classic account of administrative law fully up to date in light of recent case law and legislation, especially regarding the continuing transformation of this branch of the law by the Human Rights Act 1998.
The book's clarity of exposition makes it accessible to the student approaching the subject for the first time, while its breadth of coverage and perceptive insight ensure its value to all interested in this field, academics and practitioners alike.
This second edition offers detailed discussion of administrative law, placing it within its historical, social and political framework. Throughout the text, administrative policies and judicial decisions are analyzed, and possible solutions to difficult, controversial questions thus arising are suggested to assist complete understanding. Many major new decisions are examined, and comparisons are made with other jurisdictions, particularly the USA.
