Abstract—

Public administration has, for some time now, been undergoing a digital transformation. Part of this change is the replacement of human public officials with automated decision-making systems. Beyond its immediate social and political significance, the EU Settlement Scheme—the mechanism established to allow EU citizens to remain resident in the UK after Brexit—represents the coming of age of a new template for automated administration. Understood in its context, this template raises foundational questions about the nature of administrative justice in the emerging digital state. This template, while it has various potential advantages, is essentially half-baked, contains significant risks without sufficient safeguards and requires revision before its suggested wider future application becomes a reality. Amendments to the template ought to be framed by reference to the precautionary principle, as this would continue to make for efficient implementation of policy while better protecting individuals in this experimental phase of automated administration.

自动化管理中的正义

摘要-

一段时间以来，公共行政部门一直在进行数字化转型。这种变化的一部分是用自动化的决策系统代替人类的公职人员。除了其直接的社会和政治意义之外，欧盟和解计划（一种允许欧盟公民在英国退欧后继续在英国居住）的机制，代表了自动管理新模板时代的到来。在其上下文中可以理解，该模板提出了有关新兴数字国家中行政司法性质的基本问题。尽管该模板具有各种潜在的优点，但实际上已半熟，在没有足够的保护措施的情况下仍存在重大风险，并且需要修改，然后才建议将其广泛应用。
