LAW404: Advanced Administrative Law - the Law Governing Decision Making
There is practically no walk of life where decisions are not subject to review: this is the substance of Administrative law---the law governing decision-making. As a living offshoot of Constitutional Law, Administrative Law is a challenging, changing, highly political, fundamentally interesting and extraordinarily important facet of the way in which Australians are governed, and illustrative of the way in which the 'rule of law', the 'sovereignty of parliament', and the 'separation of powers' doctrines are applied in the Australian jurisdiction. The course, after a short refresher in basic administrative law, undertakes an intensive examination of merits and judicial review principles and jurisprudential issues in the context of decisions made in the migration jurisdiction.
