Administrative Law Controls on the Delegate
Administrative Law Controls on the Delegate
This chapter examines the extent to which administrative law obligations are extended to private delegates of governmental power. Part One presents a short overview of the variety of sources of administrative law in the three jurisdictions. Part Two deals with the content of administrative law, in terms of the relevance of the general values of administrative law in responding to the challenges posed by private delegation. Part Three reviews the four primary applicability criteria for administrative law found in the US, England, and the EU: institutional identity, procedure, source of power, and function. The suitability of these criteria for reaching private delegates is assessed. Finally, Part Four comments on the application of freedom of information legislation to private delegates. As in Chapter 6, the argument is made that the reach of administrative law should depend on the nature of the power exercised, not the power-holder.
