| | Administrative law - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Administrative law expanded greatly during the twentieth century, as legislative bodies world-wide created more government agencies to regulate the increasingly complex social, economic and political spheres of human interaction. | | | Many of the independent agencies operate as miniature versions of the tripartite federal government, with the authority to "legislate" (through rulemaking), "adjudicate" (through administrative hearings), and to "execute" administrative goals (through agency enforcement personnel). | | | As a body of law, administrative law deals with the decision-making of administrative units of government (e.g., tribunals, boards or commissions) that are part of a state regulatory scheme in such areas as international trade, manufacturing, the environment, taxation, broadcasting, immigration and transport. |

| | SSRN-An Agency Costs Theory of Trust Law by Robert Sitkoff |
| | The normative claim is that the law should minimize the agency costs inherent in locating managerial authority with the trustee and the residual claim with the beneficiaries, but only to the extent that doing so is consistent with the ex ante instructions of the settlor. | | | The agency costs approach offers fresh insights into recurring problems in trust law including, among others, modification and termination, settlor standing, fiduciary litigation, trust-investment law and the duty of impartiality, trustee removal, the role of so-called trust protectors, and spendthrift trusts. | | | Accordingly, the use of the private trust triggers a temporal agency problem (whether the trustee will remain loyal to the settlors original wishes) in addition to the usual agency problem that arises when risk-bearing and management are separated (whether the trustee/manager will act in the best interests of the beneficiaries/residual claimants). |

| | SSRN-Trust Law, Corporate Law, and Capital Market Efficiency by Robert Sitkoff |
| | But where the law of corporate governance evolved in the shadow of capital-market checks on agency costs, trust governance did not. | | | In both the publicly-traded corporation and the private donative trust a crucial task is to minimize the agency costs that arise from the separation of risk-bearing and management. | | | Thus, even more than that of close corporations, the law and study of private trusts offers an illuminating counterfactual - a control, as it were - for a playful thought experiment about the importance of capital market efficiency to the law and study of public corporations. |

| | The Fiction and Tyranny of "Administrative Law" |
| | The idea that the powers of such a body could simply be given to an administrative agency is then the essence of the violation of the separation of powers and the system of checks and balances. | | | Another benefit for some political factions is that they can capture ideological control of an administrative agency even when they have no hope of pursuing their program through legislation. | | | If the agencies are content just to harass and impoverish a citizen, we have been told by the Supreme Court that the citizen cannot have recourse to a real court, in the real judiciary, to appeal the tyranny of the agency until all "administrative remedies" have been exhausted. |

| | If an agency seems to pass unreasonable rules, citizens complain, and the Congress passes a law limiting the agency's authority or simply changing the rule itself. | | | Part of the practice of administrative law is challenging agency rules; but a far more significant part of that practice is assisting clients in complying with complex rules, or advocating for changes before the agency itself. | | | The authorizing legislation typically sets broad standards for the agency, and tells the administrative agency that it may make rules so long as the agency stays within certain legal guidelines. |

| | An answer to that is that administrative agencies are set up to ensure speed, cheapness, and efficiency in routine matters and that with those goals they are more likely to render injustice than judicial institutions set up to uphold the law and justice. | | | Structuring their discretion by legislating that home visits are not mandatory would be of assistance in pointing the law as it exists on paper in the right direction but effecting attitudinal changes of the administrators of that law is of equal importance. | | | We witnessed this last on the provincial level in B.C. in 1977 when several travel agencies went bankrupt and their customers were left without anything for all the money they had paid. |
