This book provides a clear and concise account of the main principles of administrative law. It sets those principles in historical, comparative and constitutional perspective. Principles of Administrative Law guides the reader through the complexities of the current law and provides an account of how it developed and where it might go in the years to come. This book tells not only what administrative law is but also what it is about. Unlike a traditional textbook, Principles of Administrative Law offers an uncluttered statement of the essentials of the subject. Unlike an 'outline' or 'introduction', however, it uses this statement of the basics as the foundation for an exploration of the law's origins and conceptual foundations and of its institutional and constitutional context. In addition, it covers various important topics not found in other administrative law books for students. It is a significant addition to the literature on Australian administrative law, and meets a real need for a short book that is both broad and deep in its treatment of this increasingly topical area of law.

Administrative Law

Oxford University Press

Many administrative law principles are abstract and difficult to apply. The readings in this collection are longer than extracts in a typical cases and material volume. This will help students develop legal reasoning skills and gain a better understanding of how the principles of administrative law are applied and elaborated in specific and factual contexts. To promote these objectives, most of the selected cases and materials are accompanied by reading questions designed to focus students on the essentials of each case and to stimulate further thought.

The aim of the fifth edition of The Law of Torts in Australia, like that of the previous four, is to provide a distinctively Australian account of the most important parts of tort law, primarily for use by students. This edition is the most comprehensive offering; it goes into more depth than other texts, and explores motivations and complexities behind the principles of tort law, whilst challenging students to think critically about the law.

The Law of Torts In Australia

Business

In recent years most tort lawyers have tended to concentrate upon the primary concern of tort law, which is to provide a system of compensation for death and personal injury. As a result, doubts have arisen as to the extent to which the law of tort should be involved in the protection of economic interests, such as business losses caused by competitors and employees and, more generally, on economic losses caused by negligent conduct. This study is the first attempt to examine the concepts, principles, and interconnections of tort law, and how the legal principles relate to the actual activity of wealth creation and preservation. Focusing on the nature of the plantiff's interest, the complaint and the action the law is prepared to take, this approach will cast new light on the aims, functions, and justifications, both social and doctrinal, for the law of tort so far as it is concerned with wealth.

Tort Law and Economic Interests

An Introduction to Administrative Law (Clarendon Law Series)

Casting the role of the courts in controlling administrative action not as that of neutral arbiter, but as that of active participant in the government decision-making process, this book considers the constitutional context of judicial review, its relationship with other mechanisms for controlling administrative activity, and its impact on the agencies subject to it.  The most important rules concerning judicial review of administrative activity are clearly and concisely presented alongside a broad framework for understanding them.

The most important rules concerning judicial review of administrative activity are clearly and concisely presented alongside a broad framework for understanding them.

Like its predecessor, the second edition of this book has two main aims--to provide a clear and relatively short statement of the most important rules concerning judicial control of governmental activity; and to provide a wider framework for understanding those rules. This book aims to provide readers with a concise but critical analysis of the law.

This is a book about the way in which the law of tort protects financial assets such as money, property and contracts. It is not a conventional textbook, either in content or arrangement, and the analysis goes well beyond standard undergraduate texts. Many of the issues receive very little attention in the standard texts. This is a thoroughly revised and rewritten new edition which builds on the critical acclaim achieved by the first edition.

This book is about the way in which the law of torts protects financial assets such as money, property, and contracts. It focuses on the interests protected and does not follow the usual textbook arrangement of the law according to the various torts (such as trespass, negligence, and defamation). The discussion goes well beyond the debate about recovery for economic loss in negligence and places that debate in a much wider context. The introduction explains the notion of economic interests and why this has been chosen as the focus of attention. The second part gives an account of the relevant rules of tort law, while the third part examines the relationship between tort law and other legal categories such as contract, trusts, and restitution; as well as between tort law and other techniques for protecting economic interests such as regulation and insurance. The final part discusses the aims and functions of tort law. Many of the issues discussed receive very little attention in most tort texts. The book's focus on interests is fruitful because it leads us to consider the ways in which the protection of economic interests by tort law differs from that provided by other areas of law. It also alerts us to the fact that tort law plays a significant part in protecting interests recognized by property law and contract law. Viewing tort law in terms of the ways it protects economic interests leads to the important realization that the juridical techniques of the common law of tort have parallels in statutory causes of action, which often interact with common law causes of action in complex ways. At a slightly more general level, this examination of the the functions of tort law in protecting economic interests helps to reveal their complexity and to explain inconsistencies within the general body of tort doctrine. This book is intended for this is an advanced text on the law of tort, suitable for very able undergraduates, graduates, scholars and practitioners.
