The British Academy for Training and Development offers this specialized training program entitled Legal Analysis of Administrative Decisions, designed to equip participants with comprehensive knowledge of the legal frameworks governing administrative decisions and to develop their ability to analyze and draft decisions in accordance with principles of legality and administrative justice.

Administrative decisions are the primary tools through which public authorities exercise their powers and implement public policies, making them subject to continuous legal scrutiny and judicial oversight.

Organizations increasingly need professionals capable of examining and drafting decisions according to sound legal standards, especially in light of rising judicial appeals and oversight concerning compliance with legality principles and individuals’ right to challenge unlawful administrative decisions. This program provides participants with analytical and technical knowledge to evaluate the legality of administrative decisions in terms of form and substance, identify reasons for invalidity, prevent legal defects, and apply practical methods and modern techniques for oversight and analysis.
