The idea of administrative justice is central to the British system
of public law, more embracing than judicial review, or even
administrative law itself. It embraces all the mechanisms designed
to achieve a proper balance between the exercise of public and
quasi-public power and those affected by the exercise of that
power. This book contains revised versions of the papers given at
the International Conference on Administrative Justice held in
Bristol in 1997. Forty years after the publication of the Franks
Committee report on Tribunals and Inquiries, the conference
reflected on developments since then and sought to provoke debate
about how the future might unfold. Participants included policy
makers, tribunal chairs and ombudsmen, other decision-takers as
well as academics - a formidable combination of expertise in the
operation of the administrative justice system. Among the themes
addressed in the papers are the following: the effect of the
changing nature of the state on current institutions; human rights
and administrative justice; the relationship between decision
taking, reviews of decisions, and the adjudication of appeals; and
the overview of administrative justice, taking into account lessons
from abroad. The new millenium provides an opportunity for the
reappraisal of the British system of administrative justice; this
volume presents an indispenable repository of the ideas needed to
understand how that system should develop over the coming years.
