| Content: LAWS3385 Administrative Law I (a prerequisite to this unit) examined what many consider to be the core principles underlying the legal control of administrative action—the 'grounds' of judicial review. This unit examines the judicial review remedies and related topics, and the newer non-judicial components of contemporary administrative law—freedom of information, the ombudsman and merits review. |
| |
Assessment: This comprises attendance and participation in tutorials; the (optional) submission of a mid-semester assignment; and the completion of an end-of-semester examination.
Supplementary assessment is not available in this unit except in the case of a bachelor's pass degree student who has obtained a mark of 45 to 49 and is currently enrolled in this unit, and it is the only remaining unit that the student must pass in order to complete their course. |
