    Administrative Law, Trimester 2, 2012 Assignment Question „[The] statutory “no evidence” ground of judicial review is both wider and more specific than was the case with “no evidence” grounds for judicial review at common law.‟ Justice Kirby, Minister for Immigration and Multicultural Affairs v Rajamanikkam [2002] 210 CLR 222, at [111].

    [Judicial review of administrative action has traditionally had a procedural focus. This means that courts examine the procedure by which a decision is made, rather than the decision itself. A denial of natural justice is no exception to review — a person dissatisfied with an administrative decision has long been able to complain about the fairness of the decision-making process but not the fairness of the decision itself. English law has recently developed a doctrine of ‘substantive unfairness’ by which an expectation about the outcome of a decision-making process can be protected by the courts in a strong sense. The strength of the protection given under this new doctrine seems to blur the distinction between process and outcomes, which leads judicial review in a radical new direction. This article explains the English doctrine of substantive unfairness and considers whether it can and should be adopted in Australia.]…

    Montesquieu puts forward the idea that there is no liberty, if the judiciary power is not separated from the legislative and the executive. He said if it were joined with the legislative, the life and liberty of the subject would be exposed to arbitrary control; the judge would then be the legislator. If it were joined with the executive, the judge would behave with violence and oppression1. The principle of separation of powers is the foundation for a democratic state based on the rule of law. The judicial power dispenses justice in disputes between citizens and government and its agencies. Therefore, there is a need to vest this judicial power in a mechanism independent of the legislative and executive powers of the government with adequate guarantees to insulate it from political and other influence to secure its independence and impartiality. The presence of an independent judiciary in a democratic government distinguishes that system from a totalitarian one2. The current form of Westminster government that Australia and Malaysia has adopted keeps the parliament in line with the executive policy. Therefore, the judiciary is seen to be vital in providing the checks and balances. Judicial independence is the very foundation of any worthwhile legal structure. A free society would only exist as long as it is governed by the rule of law, which binds the rulers with the ruled. An independent judiciary is generally an essential requirement for the proper functioning of free and democratic society. The issue of judicial independence involves three fundamental conditions. Security of tenure of the judicial office-bearer, financial security and institutional independence. According to the doctrine of separation of powers, judicial independence is to be taken as a bulwark against the concentration of power in the hands of the Parliament or the bureaucracy. At the practical level, there is a…
