Talk:Scots administrative law

Copied from Scots law
Administrative law is that branch of public law which provides for judicial review of the decision-making process of Scottish executive officials. Decisions may be reviewed on specific grounds such as legality, procedural fairness, reasonableness (rationality) and compatibility with human rights and European law.

Judicial review is made by way of a Petition to the Court of Session in Edinburgh. If successful, the court may quash the decision, award damages, make a declaration and make interim orders, including interim interdict. Except where it is a European Charter of Human Rights case, the Court cannot review the merits of the case but, if it quash the decision, must send it back to be re-considered.
