Abstract

The list of recognised grounds of judicial review has remained constant in England and Wales for several decades. Modern administrative law may therefore appear to be characterised by high levels of stability or perhaps stagnancy. The essays in The Frontiers of Public Law are, however, an important reminder of three important sources of dynamism across modern administrative law. First, legislation can change regularly in this field, generating novel legal questions. Secondly, internal administrative practices are not static but evolving, creating questions about the adequacy of existing doctrinal structures. Thirdly, principles can emerge within sub-branches of judicial review, giving rise to questions about whether and how those same principles apply elsewhere. These sources of dynamism make modern administrative law ripe territory for novel and important legal issues.

现代行政法中的活力来源†

摘要

几十年来，英格兰和威尔士的公认司法审查理由清单一直保持不变。因此，现代行政法似乎具有高度稳定或停滞不前的特点。《公法前沿》中的文章然而，它们是现代行政法中三个重要的活力来源的重要提醒。首先，该领域的立法可能会定期变化，从而产生新的法律问题。其次，内部行政实践不是一成不变的，而是不断发展的，从而对现有教义结构的充分性提出了质疑。第三，司法审查的分支中可能会出现原则，从而引发关于这些原则是否以及如何适用于其他地方的问题。这些活力的源泉使现代行政法成为处理新的和重要的法律问题的成熟领域。
