Unit 34

 Remember the doctrine of separation of powers. What are the three branches of power and what are their powers?  Who appoints and confers powers on the executive branch?  These powers are referred to as administrative powers

 Administrative powers are powers of an executive nature conferred by Parliament on government ministers, public and local authorities etc. for the purpose of implementing broadly defined policy  e.g. issuing decisions concerning compulsory purchase of land, granting licences to practice a certain profession, town and country planning, regulation of public health, environmental matters, welfare services, control of trade, etc.

 In the strict sense, legislation refers to Acts of Parliament, enacted by the Queen in Parliament  Legislation in the broader sense can be laid down by other bodies.  Legislation issued by administrative bodies is referred to as delegated legislation

other than Parliament Legislation enacted by bodies other than Parliament: Orders in Council Orders in Council (laws enacted by the Government, usually in emergency situations) Statutory Instruments Statutory Instruments (enacted by government ministers, usually contain more concrete operating provisions than statutes) Byelaws Byelaws (enacted by local authorities)  What would be their Croatian counterparts?

 These powers are always limited, i.e. an Act of Parliament lays down the framework within which an administrative body may act These limits may refer to: the nature/content of the act itself its purpose procedure to be followed

Any action seen as a transgression of this power is considered to be ultra vires (i.e. beyond the powers) If an administrative act is found to be ultra vires, it is declared invalid

 The power to review actions taken by administrative bodies lies in the hands of the courts  This is referred to as judicial review – challenging the validity of administrative acts/decisions

 Jurisdiction for judicial review of decisions issued by public authorities: ◦ the Administrative Court (set up within the High Court of Justice, Queen’s Bench Division)

 A remedy may be obtained in two ways: ◦ direct challenge ◦ challenge in collateral proceedings

 DIRECT CHALLENGE ◦ the object of proceedings is to impugn an administrative act or, in the case of failure to act, to require action to be taken ◦ the court is asked directly to review the validity of the administrative act

 CHALLENGE IN COLLATERAL PROCEEDINGS ◦ challenge of an administrative act arises in the course of proceedings whose purpose is something other than judicial review ◦ e.g. a person affected by an administrative act waits until the act is enforced and he/she is sued for the violation thereof ◦ in the course of this proceeding the defendant may claim the act invalid and request a review ◦ the court must determine the validity of the act before reaching a decision on the merits of the original case

 The courts interpret the legislation under review, but also use common- law grounds for adjudication: ◦ illegality ◦ irrationality ◦ procedural impropriety

 ILLEGALITY ◦ not in accordance with the law conferring the power ◦ overstepping powers (ultra vires) ◦ misconstruing the law or failing to establish facts properly ◦ issuing a decision for the wrong purpose ◦ ignoring relevant considerations

 IRRATIONALITY ◦ refers to unreasonable decisions, defying logic and moral standards “So outrageous in its defiance of logic or accepted moral standards that no sensible person who had applied his mind to the question to be decided could have arrived at it.”

 PROCEDURAL IMPROPRIETY (1/2) ◦ Statutory procedures  Statute may lay down procedures to be followed in making administrative decisions (consulting experts, conducting a public survey, etc.). Failure to comply with the procedure gives grounds for judicial review.

 PROCEDURAL IMPROPRIETY (2/2) ◦ Breach of natural justice  The rule against bias  bias in making decisions (or possibility thereof)  The right to a fair hearing  failure to hear the claimant’s arguments by the administrative body  Duty to give reasons  failure to provide reasons for the decision

1. QUASHING ORDER ◦ quashing (annulling) the administrative decision 2. MANDATORY ORDER ◦ forcing the administrative body to act in accordance with its powers when it fails to do so

3. PROHIBITING ORDER ◦ ordering the public body to cease a course of action  The claimant may also seek damages

administrative powers delegated legislation judicial review ultra vires direct challenge challenge in collateral proceedings grounds for review illegality irrationality procedural impropriety statutory procedure natural justice quashing order mandatory order prohibiting order

Judicial review is the power given to the courts to annul legislative or executive acts which the judges declare are contrary to the provisions of the constitution. The main difference between review and appeal is that, in the latter case, the court can normally substitute its decision for that of the administrative body, while in the case of review, the court simply quashes the decision and the administrative body can reconsider the matter.
