Administrative Law in Tanzania (PB)

A detailed treatment of administrative law in Tanzania, this volume examines the legal framework governing the relationship between the individual and the state. Its central concern is how administrative law functions to keep governmental power within legal bounds and to protect citizens against its abuse. The book covers landmark and high-profile cases from the colonial period to the present, organised around key topics including procedure in applications for prerogative remedies, constitutional principles and human rights, natural justice, discretion and fairness, the jurisdiction of courts and ouster clauses, prerogative orders and alternative remedies, and the right to legal representation. It is a useful reference for law students, legal practitioners, legislators, laypersons, and public officials. Internationally distributed by African Books Collective.
