Textbook on Administrative Law Summary

Textbook on Administrative Law by Peter Leyland (Professor of Law, SOAS, University of London)

The eighth edition of Textbook on Administrative Law has been substantially revised and updated to provide a concise and topical account of this fast-moving area of law. The guiding theme of this acclaimed textbook is how accountability is achieved through a 'grievance chain' comprising Parliament, informal methods of dispute resolution, ombudsmen, tribunals, and, particularly, by the courts through judicial review. This edition remains as accessible as ever, fully exploring the core areas of the subject and setting them in a contextual framework. In addition to wide-spread recognition as an invaluable core text for LLB and GDL students, Textbook on Administrative Law is a stimulating introduction for postgraduates and for non-law undergraduates with an interest in the field. The book is accompanied by an Online Resource Centre providing a wide range of extra resources to further support students in their studies, including: - Updates in constitutional and administrative law - An extensive range of web links - An interactive timeline of significant public law events throughout history - 'Oxford News Now'- a live feed on topical public law issues, sourced from news websites such as the BBC and Guardian

Textbook on Administrative Law Reviews

Accessible with good coverage and well written. It is refelctive not only of the law but also the wider context and allows students to understand administrative law in a more nuanced and practical way. * Dr Fiona Donson, Lecturer in Law, University College Cork *
The information is presented in a clear and simple way making use of a good number of technical examples from case-law to illustrate the points made. I have never heard a complaint that the text was difficult to read or understand. * Dr Dimitris Xenos, Senior Lecturer, University of East London *
Clear and well written, very well structured, pitched well at 'mid-level' students in terms of appeal to academic ability. * Jamie Grace, Senior Lecturer in Law, Sheffield Hallam University *
Review from previous edition Strikes an excellent balance between exploring some of the issues in greater detail whilst, at the same time, giving the reader enough information to cover the fundamental points. * Student Law Journal *
Lawyers and students looking for an accessible and interesting account of administrative law should seriously consider Textbook on Administrative Law. * Student Law Journal *
This is a textbook borne out of considerable experience of designing and delivering administrative law courses and reflects a sense of what students actually need. * The Law Teacher *
