Despite commonly expressed concerns that regulation-making is secretive and undemocratic, it can be recognised to be a democratically sound and important feature of modern law. There are, however, modern practices that remove or limit these safeguards on regulation-making, raising concerns about executive aggrandisement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eRegulation-Making in the United Kingdom and Australia\u003c\/em\u003e has two aims. The first is to explain the systems of parliamentary scrutiny in the UK and Australia and their historical development. The development of parliamentary checks on regulation-making through the 20th century established the primary basis for the democratic legitimacy of regulations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe second aim is to examine recent developments in regulation-making that avoid or minimise this safeguard. Constitutional changes in the UK, transnational regulation, and emergencies such as the COVID-19 pandemic have affected regulation-making in a manner that avoids or minimises the parliamentary checks that were carefully developed and implemented in the 20th century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe book contributes to public law in the UK and Australia by analysing recent developments that involve executive over-reach, with reference to the historical development of parliamentary checks on regulation-making.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Allen \u0026 Unwin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47597796589804,"sku":"9781509972241","price":231.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/ec955cc937ec2eb6183b1f113c823b50_edce6057-fe71-4681-8818-dbf3e0690dae.jpg?v=1778027994","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/regulation-making-in-the-united-kingdom-and-australia-by-andrew-edgar-9781509972241","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
