Based on the 41st series of Hamlyn Lectures, this book charts the growth and describes the fundamental characteristics of administrative law. The author takes as his starting point the conclusion of Lord Denning's Hamlyn Lectures, "Freedom Under the Law", delivered in 1949, warning against the abuse of power by the executive and the need for the courts to develop new remedies to counteract possible abuse. Sir Harry Woolf identifies the features of our system which have enabled administrative law to develop so rapidly in recent years. He continues to examine the way in which these features could be used to achieve the further progress he believes is still needed to ensure that the public are adequately protected against the abuse of the executives's ever-increasing power. Drawing on his extensive experience both as barrister and as judge, Sir Harry Woolf concentrates on the practicalities of everyday administrative procedure.
