Lectures in administrative law XXVI

Abstract

If we backtrack to a prior section titled 'Let down by the Public Administration’, I highlighted those categories of circumstances where individuals might perceive themselves as being treated unfairly by the public administration. Instances that provoke a sense of grievance against the public administration may involve dissatisfaction with the results of administrative acts, the unauthorized implementation of legislative measures by the Executive in the form of subsidiary legislation, which contradicts the primary parent Act, or even worse, the Constitution, civil torts arising from executive negligence or a lack of due care, and breaches of civil contractual obligations.
