A Theory of Legitimate Expectations for Public Administration

A Theory of Legitimate Expectations for Public Administration

Author: Alexander Brown
  • Presents a new theory of legitimate expectation for public administration, arguing that agencies should be held liable for losses they directly cause by creating and then frustrating legitimate expectations.
    • Draws on normative legal and political theory to evaluate the ethics of legal doctrine and whether this is primarily an issue of fairness, security, trust in government, or something else.
    Compares and contrasts examples drawn from the UK, Ireland, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa.
    (Subject: Public Administration)

Half Day Workshop:  'Mapping Law Globally' 13 May 2015 - 3:00 - 6:30pm Room 313, Law Building, School of Law, Queen Mary University of London, Mile End Road, London E1 4NS Hosted by the  Centre for Law and Society in a Global Context  (CLSGC).  This seminar considers the spatial dimensions of legal processes and the (dis)orderly aspects of geographical processes as we discuss land title registration systems, the world’s first factory and public billboards.  By participating in this conversation between geography and law, we hope for further critical consideration of the racist effects of liquefying land, the different legal mechanisms of industrial place-making, and the role of judicial ‘space-talk’ in constituting public spheres.    Chair Dr Ruth Fletcher , Queen Mary University of London Programme 3-4pm:  Making Land Liquid: Race, Time and Title Registration Author:  Sarah Keenan , Birkbeck University of London Commentator:  Simon Reid-Henry , Queen Mary University of London

The new work of András Földi and Gábor Hamza offers a more extensive treatment not only than that of the textbook which it succeeds, but also than the two-volume, 1941 manual of Kálmán Személyi. In its detailed treatment of the subsequent history of Roman law it can only be compared to the classical work of Tamás Vécsey, the last edition of which appeared in 1907. The treatise, as suggested by its title, presents the history and the institutes (i.e. the classical material) of Roman law.
