Simple, Fair, Discretionary Administrative Law

Below is one of my articles that has recently been published in the Victoria University of Wellington Law Review: > Dean R Knight, "Simple, Fair, Discretionary Administrative Law" (2008) 39 VUWLR 99

This article discusses the immense contribution Lord Cooke made to the development of administrative law in New Zealand. It focuses on his desire for simplicity, his pursuit of fairness and his acceptance of discretion. In particular, this article examines the different ways this tripartite set of themes manifest themselves in and throughout the orthodox tripartite grounds of judicial review in New Zealand.

The article is in a special issue marking the passing of Lord Cooke, which is to be formally launched early next month.
