This course examines the legal means by which people may hold the executive arm of government accountable for actions which affect them by challenging the legality of actions, the merits of decisions, the fairness of processes, or by seeking access to information held by government. You will study the procedures and grounds for judicial review of governmental action, tribunal-based merits review of governmental decisions, and the operation of freedom of information legislation. Administrative Law encompasses and impacts upon many different areas of law, and therefore an understanding of this area of law is critical for all areas of legal practice.
