Speaker: Professor Paul Craig (University of Oxford)
Commentators: Professor Tom Hickman (UCL Laws), Professor Jeff King (UCL Laws)
Chair: Professor Erin Delaney (UCL Laws)
Abstract
In this edition of the Public Law Seminar Series, hosted by the Global Centre for Democratic Constitutionalism at UCL Laws, renowned scholar Paul Craig will present on his new book English Administrative Law from 1550: Continuity and Change. Following his presentation, commentators will offer their remarks, leading into further discussions. The event will be chaired by Prof Erin Delaney.
About the Book
The commonly held view about English administrative law is that it is of recent origin, with some dating it from the mid-20th century and some venturing back to the late 19th century. English Administrative Law from 1550: Continuity and Change upends this conventional thinking, charting its development from the mid-16th century with an in-depth examination of administrative law doctrine based on primary legal materials, statute, and case law….With thought-provoking and original insights, English Administrative Law from 1550 systematically elaborates and contextualizes the origins of administrative law features while linking them to their modern-day equivalents.
