No full textADR in the Administrative Law: A Perspective from the United Kingdom
No full textAdministrative ADR encompasses a number of grievance mechanisms that provide an alternative to court litigation. However, due to space constraints, the chapter focuses on three types of ADR, namely, “internal appeal,” “mediation,” and the “public Ombudsman.” A central claim of this work is that there exists a fine balance between PDR and the constitutional values that are intrinsic to a system of administrative justice. There is sufficient evidence, for instance, to suggest that public Ombudsmen, despite their shortcomings and need for reform, have the greatest potential to strike this fine balance between PDR and fundamental constitutional values. That said, there are many more issues that should be looked at here, some of which are fundamental, such as the place of ADR in common law and the issue of ADR specifically in public law, while one may still want to be cautious about the divide between public law and private law in the context of the common law. Finally, there is also an issue of balance to be sought between the use of ADR and the quality of administrative justice
Business Coalitions in the Us and Their Role in Advancing a Regional Agenda
No full textThe analysis herein explores the topic of business coalitions and focuses on the role they may play in advancing a regional agenda. The structure of the paper is threefold: (1) in the introductory section I briefly explain the meaning of the concept and how it relates to other similar concepts such as public-private partnerships or growth coalitions; (2) the second part focuses on analyzing the characteristics that best define contemporary business coalitions and stresses the implications of these characteristics for the structuring or restructuring of traditional local and regional political entities; (3) the last section focuses on how planners and other public officials could use or partner with business coalitions in order to advance their own regional agenda. In the conclusion section I argue that though business coalitions are important for the development of a regional economy and regional identity, it would be a mistake to think that they alone can determine the success of a region. Regional government should continue to be pursued as it represents the only solution to problems such as social and environmental justice, tax sharing, education, and inner city redevelopment.</p
Fundamentals of contract modifications in EU procurement law
No full textFor the past decades the Court of Justice of the European Union has been drafting the legal framework for contract modifications in relation to public procurement. The current rules in the Directive 2014/24/EU represent well years of the Court’s case law. Nonetheless, certain unregulated gaps remain. This chapter aims to shed some light on the fundamental characteristics of contract changes by concentrating on four different aspects. First, this chapter looks into what kind of changes are acceptable under the current regime and what the term ‘overall nature of the contract’ means. Second, the differences between amendments made within different stages of procurement procedure are discussed. Third, it looks into the scope of remedies imposed due to illegal contract modifications and fourth, before concluding, the transparency of contract amendments and the differences between jurisdictions are discussed.For the past decades the Court of Justice of the European Union has been drafting the legal framework for contract modifications in relation to public procurement.
