This book analyses and describes the process of law-making for Wales from initial ideas for legislation, through their development into policies and legislative proposals, to final enactment and implementation.

Planning is a practical matter affecting important aspects of daily life, though planning law can prove complex and inaccessible with increasing divergence between England and Wales. This book will promote recognition of Welsh planning law in order to aid accessibility for all who practise in or who are involved in shaping development in Wales.

Administrative Justice is about public decision-making and the relationship between citizen and state in areas such as health, education, welfare and planning. It includes the law that applies to public body decision-making and the methods for challenging decisions.

As we progress into the twenty-first century, Wales is acquiring a new identity and greater legislative autonomy. The National Assembly and the Welsh Government have power to create laws specifically for Wales. In parallel, the judicial system in Wales is acquiring greater autonomy in its ability to hold the Welsh public bodies to account. This book examines the principles involved in challenging the acts and omissions of Welsh authorities through the Administrative Court in Wales. It also examines the legal provisions behind the Administrative Court, the principles of administrative law, and the procedures involved in conducting a judicial review, as well as other Administrative Court cases. Despite extensive literature on public and administrative law, none are written solely from a Welsh perspective: this book examines the ability of the Welsh people to challenge the acts and omissions of Welsh authorities through the Administrative Court in Wales.
