The Iceberg of Australian Administrative Law: Justice Before and Beyond Judicial Review

Abstract

The majority of administrative law scholarship is devoted to judicial review. This is understandable in as much as administrative law case law is devoted to judicial review matters but ignores the fact that this occurs to an extent that exaggerates their prevalence. Professors Creyke and McMillan have however long understood – and have striven to make others understand – that this most visible aspect of administrative law cannot be used as an excuse for ignoring the much greater mass of administrative law redress that exists out of sight.
