Judicial Review Of Administrative Action In Malta – 2nd Edition

Judicial Review Of Administrative Action In Malta – 2nd Edition

This updated edition includes the principal legal developments that have taken place over the past seven years. One of the most significant developments concerns a new interpretation of the requirement of locus standi in judicial review proceedings, opening the door for non-governmental organisations to challenge the validity of decisions taken by the public administration. The book also examines the jurisprudence of the Maltese courts concerning the grounds of judicial review set out in Article 469A of Chapter 12 of the Laws of Malta, as well as the introduction of the new Article 469B. The latter, for the first time, allows an injured party to challenge a decision of the Attorney General, both in relation to a nolle prosequi and to the provision of copies of the process-verbal and the report following a magisterial inquiry to an interested party. This second edition provides scholars, legal practitioners and students with a comprehensive compendium of more than one thousand judgments on judicial review in administrative law spanning more than 130 years. It constitutes a valuable reference work for anyone seeking redress against the public administration, as well as for those wishing to deepen their knowledge and understanding of this important area of public law.
