{"product_id":"9781509909506","title":"Legitimate Expectations in the Common Law World","description":"The recognition and enforcement of legitimate expectations by courts has been a striking feature of English law since \u003ci\u003eR v North and East Devon Health Authority; ex parte Coughlan \u003c\/i\u003e[2001] 3 QB 213.  Although the substantive form of legitimate expectation adopted in \u003ci\u003eCoughlan \u003c\/i\u003ewas quickly accepted by English courts and received a generally favourable response from public law scholars, the doctrine of that case has largely been rejected in other common law jurisdictions. The central principles of \u003ci\u003eCoughlan \u003c\/i\u003ehave been rejected by courts in common law jurisdictions outside the UK for a range of reasons, such as incompatibility with local constitutional doctrine, or because they mark an undesirable drift towards merits review. The sceptical and critical reception to \u003ci\u003eCoughlan \u003c\/i\u003eoutside England is a striking   contrast to the reception the case received within the UK. This book provides a detailed scholarly analysis of these issues and considers the doctrine of legitimate expectations both in England and elsewhere in the common law world.","brand":"Bloomsbury USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47108761616624,"sku":"9781509909506","price":81.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781509909506_p0.jpg?v=1763722357","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781509909506","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
