The Appeal of Internal Review : Law, Administrative Justice and the (non-) Emergence of Disputes Hardback
by David (University of Bristol, UK) Cowan, Simon Halliday
Hardback
Description
Why do most welfare applicants fail to challenge adverse decisions despite a continuing sense of need?
The book addresses this severely under-researched and under-theorised question.
Using English homelessness law as their case study,the authors explore why homeless applicants did -- but more often did not -- challenge adverse decisions by seeking internal administrative review.
They draw out from their data a list of the barriers to the take up of grievance rights.
Further, by combining extensive interview data from aggrieved homeless applicants with ethnographic data about bureaucratic decision-making, they are able to situate these barriers within the dynamics of the citizen-bureaucracy relationship.
Additionally, they point to other contexts which inform applicants' decisions about whether to request an internal review.
Drawing on a diverse literature -- risk, trust, audit, legal consciousness, and complaints -- the authors lay the foundations for our understanding of the (non-)emergence of administrative disputes.
