ABSTRACT
Administrative law, in its widest sense, comprises all the provisions of the written law and the principles of the unwritten law which provide for the review of action taken by any person in the governmental administration of a country. The term ‘administrative law’ is often used in a narrower sense, however, to refer to the principles of the unwritten law which provide for the superior courts to exercise judicial review over public administration. In this chapter, the wider meaning will be adopted, so it will consider all aspects of the legal regulation of governmental administration, including, but not limited to, the principles of judicial review.
