Nineteenth-century governments faced considerable challenges from
the rapid, novel and profound changes in social and economic
conditions resulting from the industrial revolution. In the context
of an increasingly sophisticated and complex government, from the
1830s the specialist and largely lay statutory tribunal was
conceived and adopted as the principal method of both implementing
the new regulatory legislation and resolving disputes. The
tribunal's legal nature and procedures, and its place in the
machinery of justice, were debated and refined throughout the
Victorian period. In examining this process, this 2007 book
explains the interaction between legal constraints, social and
economic demand and political expediency that gave rise to this
form of dispute resolution. It reveals the imagination and
creativity of the legislators who drew on diverse legal
institutions and values to create the new tribunals, and shows how
the modern difficulties of legal classification were largely the
result of the institution's nineteenth-century development.
