The Quartet, a group of four House of Lords judgments from the 1960s, had a significant impact on the development of administrative law. This book examines these cases, their decisions, and the underlying conception of administrative law, shedding light on the complex processes and constitutional choices that shaped the modern system of judicial review.

In this comprehensive book, esteemed experts from various common law jurisdictions come together to assess the profound impact of four landmark House of Lords judgments that were handed down in the 1960s: Ridge v Baldwin, Padfeld v Minister of Agriculture, Conway v Rimmer, and Anisminic v Foreign Compensation Commission. Often referred to as the "Quartet," these cases are considered a pivotal moment in the evolution of court-centered administrative law, marking a significant step towards the emergence of modern judicial review.
The examination of these cases extends beyond a mere analysis of the specific points decided and their contributions to administrative law doctrine. It delves into the underlying conception of the tasks of administrative law that underlie the Quartet, shedding light on the complex processes through which the modern system of judicial review emerged. This exploration not only provides valuable insights into the historical development of administrative law but also reflects upon the constitutional choices that underpin its jurisprudence.
By examining the Quartet in this holistic manner, the book offers a fresh perspective on the achievements, shortcomings, and limitations of the common law in reviewing actions of the executive. It prompts readers to consider the enduring significance of these judgments and their impact on the balance of power between the branches of government. This book is a valuable resource for scholars, practitioners, and anyone interested in understanding the evolution of administrative law and the role of the judiciary in shaping public policy.
