ABSTRACT
In Chapter 2, we touched briefly on the law of remedies. It is appropriate that we now take a closer look at what is happening in this branch of the law. Perhaps the most significant developments are (a) the shift of focus from the principal aim of quashing unlawful decisions to that of promoting good administration in government, and (b) the recognition that the old law on remedies has become too unwieldy, too technical and very much a trap for the unwary.1 As we noted earlier, these concerns have fuelled the development of streamlined judicial review procedures.
