Administrative Law Hard
Green light theory sees the administration as a tool for social welfare and prefers political control over control by courts. According to the lecture, which writers leaned towards this green light view?
Show answer and explanation
Answer: C. William Robson and Ivor Jennings
Explanation
The text states that William Robson and Ivor Jennings leaned towards green light theory. Dicey and Lord Hewart represent red light theory, which treats administrative power with suspicion. Carol Harlow and Richard Rawlings used the traffic light colours in Law and Administration to describe the different attitudes; the text does not place them in the green light camp.
