..a timely contribution to the public law literature... ..if the purpose of academic writing is to provoke though and inspire new ways of looking at a subject, the book is an undoubted success. Within its chapters, which range from 'deep' theory to a root-and-branch critique of existing administrative justice arrangements, there is enough academic food for thought to keep scholars busy for years to come. Although inevitably many readers will dip in and out of the book according to their interests, the book also works read cover to cover. Connections are made with wider themes of governance, theory is explored in some depth, comparative studies and current debates are used to add contemporary insight to the book, and the overall system of redress mechanisms is appraised. ... the coverage is impressive and the reader is left with a clearer and more comprehensive understanding of the subject. The book ... will set the benchmark for works within its field for many years to come. ...the themes and ideas identified in this book remain vital to a full comprehension of administrative justice. ...it is a superb compilation of essays and full of ideas that challenge our way of thinking about the subject. Moreover, it contains significant proposals for reform which deserve further scrutiny. Tribute should be paid to Professor Adler for bringing together and being bold enough to invite such a diverse collection of authors. The book will be essential reading for many years to come and I would recommend it to all scholars and students of public law... Richard Kirkham The Modern Law Review Volume 74, Number 4, 2011
