"Administrative Justice in South Africa: An Introduction offers a clear, comprehensive and applied explanation of the principles and framework of administrative justice in South Africa. The text addresses both judicial and non-judicial means for control and enforcement, as well as procedural aspects of administrative law. Practical in its approach, the text provides valuable focus on the application of principles to case law, problem-solving methodology, and specific procedural aspects of administrative justice. This second edition is thoroughly updated, to reflect issues and legal developments within the recent period. It offers an expanded discussion of non-judicial forms of control and enforcement, including a new chapter that addresses the roles and powers of the Auditor-General and the Public Protector. The text's discussion of legal remedies in control and enforcement proceedings is expanded to include the remedies that are available to support the interventions of the Auditor-General and the Public Protector, respectively. The second edition introduces a visioning, enquiring perspective that considers the ongoing system design that is requisite to engender good, just and efficient public decision-making, and to give effect to the constitutional promise of administrative justice. The text offers a clear pedagogical framework that develops independent, critical and reflective engagement with the subject matter. A strong conceptual and enquiring approach enriches knowledge, and engages readers in an interactive, topical and challenging manner. Additional, high-value educational resources support learning and teaching, further assisting students to develop the knowledge and skills required to master their studies."--

After more than a decade of renewal of South African administrative law in its constitutional and statutory form, the time has come to ensure implementation of the ideals enshrined in the legislation through the public administration. The papers contained in this title focus on the issue and represent the views of some of the key participants in that reform process. They provide an overview of the context in which this reform has taken place, as well as of the interaction between common law, statutory law and the constitution in this field. In addition, various perspectives on administrative justice are expounded, and implementation and training strategies are examined.
