Abstract
The previous chapters contain numerous instances of courts passing judgment on the legality of decisions, regulations, and actions made in pursuance of statutory authority, which together constitute the division of law in the 20th century called judicial review or, in one of its senses, administrative law. This chapter offers a framework for the instances of review raised in previous chapters. It begins with the world of Pashley and Richards and ends with Rice, Arlidge, and the cases tentatively asserting decisions.
