The function of administrative law
Channel: Lindsay Stirton
Date: 2020-09-24

What is administrative law for? What roles does it play in securing justice in administration? An examination of the tasks of administrative law, through the lens of (something akin to) Mary Douglas's grid group cultural theory. Emphasises Canadian (and occasionally English) administrative law, but possibly more broadly relevant.

A more developed account of the ideas in this video has been published as  'Judicial Review and Administrative Justice' (co-authored with TT Arvind and Simon Halliday). This book chapter can be found in Marc Hertogh, Richard Kirkham, Robert Thomas, and Joe Tomlinson (editors) The Oxford Handbook of Administrative Justice, published by Oxford University Press.
