ADMINISTRATIVE LAW

UNIT 1 – DESCRIBING ADMIN LAW
4 Key issues / pillars in Admin Law

 Authority = * Governs relationships between legal subjects
* Relationships are not on equal footing (inequality – vertical relationship)
* Always a superior / senior official involved

 Admin action= * Facilitates & regulates human behaviour / interaction
* Conduct of anyone exercising public / authoritative power

 Just Admin action * The right of every person
* All admin action by persons exercising public power must be
“LAWFUL, REASONABLE & PROCEDURALY FAIR”

 Control of admin action = The way / manner in which authority / power has been exercised

3 Requirements for any admin action:-

1. Be lawful – must comply with all req of law (as found in sources of law)
2. Be reasonable – Must have a reasonable effect / result
- Discretion exercised & decision taken by person in authority must be correct

(based on objective facts & circumstances)
3. Be procedurally fair – Correct procedure must be used to take decision
- Subordinate party must be given chance to defend position before
decision is taken
When decision results in someone’s rights being adversely affected – written reasons for decision should be
given

* Law provides protection against any possible harm which results from exercise of powers (against
abuse of power)
* To correct an action – to rather use method of internal / admin control (senior officials review action)
then going to court

Admin Law is the sum total of legal rules that grant people / bodies in authority power to: * take action
* Prescribe procedures to be followed where taking such action
* Ensure such action is within the boundaries of the law
Also provides for control over such action

(Activity on page 7)

- Sets standard for which admin conduct & actions of every admin
functionary / institution in SA
- Guarantees justice for all by demanding all req for admin action
must be met. (Guarantees Just Admin Action)
(Activity page 12)


2. Legislation - Parliament often expressly instruction to adopt legis to give effect to Const
provision
- Is a primary source of law – most of our law drafted in form of legis (but
all legis to comply with provisions of Const)

- Original & Subordinate Legis:-
* Original = Passes b Parl in Nat sphere
= 2 examples of Acts of Parl that compliment prov of Const &
crucial to Admin Law:- # Promotion of Justice Act 3 of 2000 (PAJA)
# Promotion of Access to Info CT 2 OF 2000
= Passes by 9 provincial legislatures in Prov Sphere
= Also passed by elected local govs (Munic councils) in Local spheres
* Subordinate = Passes ito original legis (but must not conflict with prov of
enabling Act / statute)
= In Nat sphere of gov – this legis passed by institutions
empowered to make these rules
= Examples:- # Proclamations of President (issued ito
empowering statute to declare date of
commencement of particular statute
# Regulations made by ministers ito enabling
Statute
