Description

The field of comparative administrative law has developed less extensively than comparative constitutional law. While it is experiencing a recent growth in interest, there remain gaps in the depth and extent of study, especially across common law systems. This Workshop aims to plug this gap.

Convened by Assistant Professor Swati Jhaveri (NUS) and Associate Professor Michael Ramsden (CUHK), the Workshop will bring together a group of international scholars from a wide range of common law jurisdictions to compare the continued utilisation of English administrative law across systems that traditionally imported, or were modelled on, English administrative law.

This Workshop brings together scholars from Singapore, Hong Kong, Malaysia, India, South Africa, Canada, Australia, Israel, Bangladesh, Scotland and New Zealand to explore this theme. Such a conversation will help develop a more robust understanding of different approaches to judicial review in the common law world; one that is not skewed towards an English or ‘Westminster-system’ understanding.

The final papers of the Workshop will be published as an edited volume.
