Administrative Justice in Wales and Comparative Perspectives
This book presents a comprehensive look at administrative justice in Wales and also sets it in a comparative context. The contributors offer critical analysis of distinctly Welsh administrative laws and measures for redress of harms, and they compare those to approaches to similar questions across a range of common and civil law in European and international jurisdictions. Particular areas of focus include the roles of commissioners, administrative courts, tribunals, and ombudsmen in devolved and federal nations, and evolving relationships between citizens and the state, especially in the context of recent austerity measures and pushes for decentralization of administrative and legal functions.
