European methods of administrative law redress: Netherlands, Norway and Germany

This report examines the profile of administrative law remedies in the Netherlands, Norway and Germany and makes some observations about the activities of regional European instititutions in this field. For each jurisdiction, the report provides an overview of the admistrative law system and court structure, an outline of the ombudsmen schemes and the significant developments in Alternative Dispute Resolution. The report provides an opportunity to reflect on some European approaches that may be able to shed some light on the direction and management of reforms, such as those presented in the UK Government's recent White Paper. The report was prepared for the Department of Constitutional Affairs by Trevor Buck of the University of Leicester.
