Administrative Law

What is Administrative Law? Wikipedia  The Free Encyclopedia, defines Administrative Law as a "Branch of United Kingdom law which the decisions and decision making processes of public bodies are subjected to judicial control". Since The Bahamas is a part of the Commonwealth, and we practise the same common law as the UK this definition can also be applied to Bahamian law.

The Minister of Public Works, recently had a matter brought against him in his capacity as the Ministerresponsible for the road works that is the subject matter in this case which was  based on the road works between Market Street and Blue Hill Road which sought a ruling based on the grounds of Judicial Review. This is a very interesting case and it brings to the fore that Bahamians are finally waking up when it comes to their Constitutional Rights as Citizens being violated by Government and its Agencies. the Constitution gives every Bahamian and residents alike rights and freedoms that should be free from control by any organisation or individual.
