Contextual review is a judicial method that rejects doctrinal or categorical methods to guide judicial supervision of administrative action. Judges are invited to assess the circumstances of a claim in the round without any doctrinal scaffolding to control the depth of scrutiny; in other words, intervention turns on an instinctive judicial impulse or overall evaluative judgement. This paper identifies and explains the various instances where this method is deployed in judicial review in Anglo-Commonwealth administrative law. The efficacy of this style of review is also evaluated, using rule of law standards to frame the analysis. Its increasing popularity is a worrying turn, in part because its reliance on unstructured normativism undermines the rule of law.

语境审查：司法审查中的本能冲动与非结构化规范主义

情境审查是一种拒绝理论性或范畴性的方法来指导行政行为的司法监督的司法方法。邀请法官在没有任何教义脚手架的情况下全面评估索赔的情况，以控制审查的深度；换言之，干预开启了本能的司法冲动或整体评价判断。本文确定并解释了在英联邦行政法的司法审查中采用这种方法的各种实例。还评估了这种审查方式的有效性，使用法治标准来构建分析。它越来越受欢迎是一个令人担忧的转变，部分原因是它对非结构化规范主义的依赖破坏了法治。
