Anti-requisite(s): 78167 Perspectives on Regulation

Postgraduate

This subject aims to offer the perspective of the 'regulator'. In particular it examines the strengths and weaknesses of regulatory technique from both a practical and theoretical perspective. The purpose of a subject such as this is to recognise the increasing role that the legal practitioner plays in applying and developing 'soft' or 'grey letter' law rather than the more traditional black letter law. This means that, for example, this subject offers a unique insight into the ability of mechanisms of external review such as ombudsman and tribunals to achieve administrative justice. It compares and contrasts the impact and effect of regulatory institutions and discuss the role and function and impact of regulatory institutions and isolate and analyse the effectiveness of those institutions from the perspective of the regulator. Such discussion involves determining the regulatory interests of all relevant stakeholders.
