Dr. Amanda Sapienza’s “Judicial Review of Non-Statutory Executive Action” (The Federation Press, 2020) is an impressive work of scholarship. It provides a comprehensive and in-depth analysis of various aspects of the law relating to judicial review of non-statutory executive action with a specific focus on Australia, engaging with issues ranging from jurisdiction, justiciability, the conceptual basis for judicial review of non-statutory executive action, and the grounds of review and remedies available for judicial review of such action. While the book is directed primarily at Australian law, the quality and detail of the analysis proffered within makes it a worthy read for anyone interested in judicial review and administrative law more generally. This post will offer some reflections provoked by the discussion in this book.
