This title, a second edition of Currie & Klaaren's The promotion of administrative Justice Act Benchbook, is a commentary on the PAJA, written to assist the judges, magistrates, lawyers and administrators who are required to interpret and implement the Act. The aim is principally to describe the impact of the Act on the body of law that it codifies and reforms or, to put it another way, to describe the difference that the PAJA makes to administrative law. The PAJA has become the legislative foundation of the general administrative law of South Africa. Though analysis of an administrative-law issue will not end with the Act, it certainly must begin with it - with attention to and interpretation of the Act's provisions. This title therefore aims at providing the Act's interpreters with guidance on this process of interpretation, rather than to cover South African administrative law comprehensively.
