Project No. 95

Commenced: 2001
Completed: 2002

In 1986 the Commission made numerous recommendations on the reform of the procedural aspects of judicial review and the provision of statements of reasons (see Project No 26(II)). Almost 20 years later the topic resurfaced and, in light of the developments made to this area of law on the Commonwealth level as well as the Western Australian Government’s intention at the time to reform the law relating to the review of administrative decisions on their merits by the creation of the State Administrative Tribunal, it was clearly time to review the field once again.
