Abstract

This paper examines the relationship between so-called of administrative decision-making, and of administrative action as that term is used in the title of the Administrative Decisions (Judicial Review) Act 1977 (ADJR Act), for instance. In particular, it assesses and, in some respects, challenges the widely held view that there is a qualitative difference between merits review and judicial review. The main thrust of my argument will be that the differences between judicial review and merits review are not as stark as they are often portrayed. More provocatively, I will suggest that merits review can plausibly be described as judicial review in disguise.
