Answer ONE of the following questions:

1. ‘Administrative justice is better delivered out of the courtroom for reasons

of expediency, practicality and efficiency.’

Critically evaluate this statement in relation to judicial review OR the

Ombudsman.

2. “A narrower test of standing [for judicial review] will restrict the court’s ability to

deal with issues of public importance and undermine the rule of law. …. If this

occurs it will be a significant retrograde step in our law that is likely to increase

costs and delays and undermine the flexibility of the judicial review system. No

case has been made which justifies restricting the current approach to

standing.”
