Key research themes

1. How do courts balance judicial review and deference in administrative decision-making across different legal systems?

This research area investigates the scope and limits of judicial review of administrative actions, focusing on the tension between courts exercising full scrutiny versus deferring to administrative expertise and discretion. It explores how various jurisdictions and courts calibrate deference in light of separation of powers, the complexity of administrative decisions, and democratic legitimacy. Understanding this balance matters because it affects the protection of individual rights, the legitimacy of administrative governance, and the stability of the rule of law.

2. What institutional frameworks and legal principles shape effective judicial control of administrative actions in differing jurisdictions?

This theme focuses on the institutional design, procedural safeguards, and doctrinal principles underpinning judicial review mechanisms of administrative acts across various legal systems. It addresses how specialized courts, administrative tribunals, rules of evidence including expert opinions, and doctrines like legitimate expectations or the prohibition of abuse of rights influence judicial oversight. Insights here are vital for designing judicial frameworks that fairly balance administrative efficiency with individual protections, ensuring access to justice and rule of law.

3. How do specific doctrines and principles, such as abuse of rights or legitimate expectations, influence judicial review of administrative actions?

This theme explores how substantive legal doctrines and principles are applied and developed within judicial review to regulate administrative discretion and protect individuals. It examines doctrines like abuse of rights as constraints on administrative and individual power, and legitimate expectations as safeguards for procedural fairness. The theme also considers judicial reasoning on proportionality and bias in administrative adjudication. These principles shape substantive standards of review and contribute to consistency and fairness in administrative law.

Key finding: The paper develops a model outlining the foundational characteristics of the abuse of rights doctrine in administrative law. It identifies the doctrine's teleological and axiological elements, noting the prohibition applies... Read more
