Drawing insights from economics and political science, Judging Regulators demonstrates how the administrative law of both the US and the UK has been polarized along a spectrum of effective 'veto-gates' since the mid-20th century. The author systematically compares and contrasts administrative law in the US and the UK, proposing an original interdisciplinary theory that integrates the concept of veto-gates into a strategic model of judicial review of administrative action. He explains the current divergence in administrative common law between both sides of the Atlantic, forecasting their future in light of recent destabilizing political developments, such as the attempts by US Congress to abolish Chevron deference and the UK Supreme Court's interventionist decision in R (on the application of Miller) v. The Prime Minister, contrary to the long-standing Wednesbury unreasonableness standard. Applying his Veto-gate Theory of Administrative Common Law, Ip theorizes how long-term changes in the polities' number of veto-gates is key to understanding why an antithesis emerged between these two flagships of the common law world. A crucial overview of the history and future of administrative law, this book is critical reading for scholars and researchers of public law and comparative law, particularly those focusing on comparative administrative law in common law contexts. Its theoretical insights will also be useful to political scientists and economists interested in judicial politics and regulation.
