Title: The Public and Administrative Law Reform Committee: The Early Years
Abstract: In this article, Sir Robin discusses the work of the Public and Administrative Law Reform Committee (Committee). He begins by describing the Committee’s history, original membership and outputs (including the publication of an annual report containing recommendations for reform). He then considers one particular recommendation proposed by the Committee to establish an Administrative Division of the (then) Supreme Court. He explains that the purpose of this division was to develop a specialist bench for appeals from administrative tribunals. Sir Robin questions whether this division was necessary, believing that administrative law has such wide application that it should not be treated as a specialist jurisdiction.
