It: provides solutions to the most complex legal problems relating to judicial review; analyses both the theoretical foundations of the subject and its practice; supplies comprehensive guidance on what to do at every stage of an action for judicial review; explains the impact of the latest case law and procedural developments; sets judicial review in the context of the fast-changing administrative justice system (including 'proportionate dispute resolution', the new tribunal system, recourse to ombudsmen); and draws on relevant experience from other Commonwealth jurisdictions, especially Australia, Canada, India, New Zealand and South Africa."-- Publisher's website.
