Q1(1)2 MarksDefine Administrative Law as per Ivor Jennings.

According to Sir Ivor Jennings (The Law and the Constitution, 1959): “Administrative Law is the law relating to the administration. It determines the organisation, powers and duties of administrative authorities.” The definition captures three aspects — organisation, powers and duties — but is criticised as being too wide and silent on the remedies available to citizens.
